Hope Center Youth Mentorship Program
Welcome to the Hope Center Youth Mentorship Program—an initiative designed to empower St. Louis youth through meaningful connection, academic support, and safe, engaging after-school experiences. We are honored to partner with families and educators to create an environment where young people feel supported, inspired, and excited to participate.
WHO WE ARE
Our mission is to empower students in St. Louis by equipping them with the tools to build a brighter future. We believe every young person has the right to dream, and we provide the mentorship, vocational training, and life skills needed to turn those dreams into reality. By partnering with families and listening to the needs of our community, we create a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
We strive to be a bridge for those who feel called to serve. Whether as Coaches (sharing skills such as culinary arts, photography, or physical fitness), as Mentors (walking alongside a young person long-term as they grow into independent adulthood), or as Volunteers (helping facilitate classes, groups, and events), there is a place for everyone to invest.
We also reach the wider community by hosting family-friendly events, creating opportunities for neighbors to connect with us and for us to build relationships with families we can support.
IS THE HOPE CENTER RIGHT FOR YOUR STUDENT?
The Hope Center Youth Mentorship Program is designed to support, encourage, and invest in students through positive relationships and meaningful experiences. We understand that every child is unique.
Our Interest Form allows parents and guardians to share basic information about their student. Completing this form does not commit you to the program—it simply opens the door for a conversation. A member of our team will follow up to answer questions and talk next steps.
