We are a mentoring and support program for children of prisoners, ages 4-15, that provides mentoring and specialized services. Our ultimate mission is to stop the cycle of incarceration and lead these children to a different pathway.

Our goals include:

• Cultivating children’s resiliency to become competent, healthy, happy, and successful adults
• Empowering children to build on their existing strengths
• Increasing children’s potential and broadening their horizons
• Helping children and mentors to experience confidence in their capabilities…and having fun while doing it!

MENTORS

Mentors receive initial/ongoing training and support from Brighter Futures Staff, The true reward for mentors is seeing their positive influence on the lives of these deserving children just by being their friends.

Brighter Futures children experience:

• Increased self esteem
• Increased self confidence
• Increased motivation

Our mentors achieve these goals through:

• One-to-one activities
• Recreational activities
• Social events

This experience is powerful and will fulfill your desire to make a difference through mentoring our youth

For the safety of our children, all volunteer mentors must complete an on-line application and undergo a background investigation.
