Support Quality Youth Mentoring in Colorado
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
<div class="asp_product_description">
<div>Right now, 1 in 3 children and adolescents will grow-up without a mentor of any kind, yet we know that young people who have a mentor are much more likely to participate in after-school activities, be leaders in clubs and teams, volunteer and go on to college.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Your gift helps increase capacity to provide quality mentoring relationships to the more than 1.6 million young people in Colorado who lack a positive caring role model we know they need!</div>
