I’m Eunice Navarro, and I believe every young person deserves someone who sees their potential. Friends for Youth has shown me how mentorship changes lives: a teen who thought they had no options discovering college pathways, a shy child finding confidence through consistent encouragement, a family gaining a caring community. Their work empowers underserved youth through one-on-one support and lasting community relationships, and I want to help make that available to more kids.

Mentors give time, guidance, and belief. Friends for Youth trains and connects volunteers with young people who need stability and opportunity. When a young person gets a mentor, their school engagement improves, their goals become clearer, and they begin to imagine a future that once felt out of reach. That transformation ripples through families and neighborhoods, building stronger communities.

I am raising support because every child who needs a mentor deserves one. Your gift will help Friends for Youth recruit and train mentors, match them with youth, and support ongoing relationships that lead to real change. Together we can give more young people the support and hope they need to thrive.

Please join me in supporting Friends for Youth today. Your donation will help create lasting mentorships and open doors for kids who need someone in their corner.
