Nonprofit Youth Services Business Plan


Nonprofit Youth Services Business Plan


In Brief

Solution

Unite for Youth provides mentoring programs for middle- and high-school youth in the Greater Claremont. Unite for Youth’s goal is for young people to feel hopeful for the future and to build positive relationships.

In Brief

Unite for Youth (a nonprofit agency) provides mentoring programs for middle school and high school students in the Greater Claremont. The program will establish partnerships with local school district and the juvenile courts system. Unite for Youth hopes to instill hope and promote positive social relationships among young people. It is only through building relationships with youth that a sense can of individual responsibility can be reestablished. Youth will feel pride in their accomplishments and have the motivation to continue on the path to adulthood.

At-risk youth have lost faith in their ability to achieve success after repeated failures in school and developing destructive habits. Young people need to be in an inclusive, caring learning environment that encourages them to do their best and promotes respect.

Unite for Youth is a program created in response to the increasing number of youths who are falling through the cracks at schools or getting involved with the juvenile justice system. The program’s purpose is to identify and support youths going through a turbulent transition from childhood to adulthood. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal remains the same; empower the young person to make positive changes in his/her life.

Unite for Youth focuses primarily on middle-school youths. The system expects that half of its students will be in middle schools within three years. This age group can be problematic and is a good time to provide mentoring.

Unite for Youth will match a youth with a mentor for twelve months through its mentoring programs. During that time the two will participate in weekly planned activities to strengthen the relationship between the two and improve the young person’s confidence and hopefulness. Mentors will receive continuous training throughout the year and will participate in monthly meeting to report the young person’s progress.

Over time, Unite for Youth will create a learning environment that will be an invaluable resource to young people, aspiring mentors and the community at large.

Why Us?

Unite for Youth was created to address the growing number youth who are struggling at school and are involved in the juvenile court system. The goal of the program is to identify youths who are going to have a turbulent transition to adulthood and offer positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives.
