OUR IMPACT

Reaching your teens could bring a lot of stress and headache, but COC is fully ready and equipped to save you the time, stress, and resources. Teens and young adults are faced with so many challenges today. They have tried so many different approaches to life, but nothing seems to connect with them. The COC mentoring/life coaching program is a way of helping our youth find their path. This program is to help our youth build their confidence and self esteem, then inspire them to develop inner discipline that will inspire them to make better choices. This will result in creating a more fulfilling life.

Every youth possesses the potential for a better life and we want to develop that potential so they can discover their purpose in life. We also help strengthen any area of study they are struggling in ranging from math, reading, speech, writing and many more.

WHY WE SERVE:
COMMUNITY NEED & IMPACT.

Why Do Kids Need Mentors?

Mentoring, at it’s core, tells our young people that there is someone who cares about them and assures them they are not alone in dealing with their day-to-day challenges. The goal is to let them know that they matter. Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on young people in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations.

Community Need: 1 in 3 young people need a mentor.

More than 1 in 3 young people, an estimated 16 million nationally, need an adult mentor. This includes 9 million at-risk youth who need mentors to help them reach their full potential. However, due to a lack of volunteers, there are still many students waiting for formal mentoring relationships.

Strengths of Legacy Youth Mentoring

Our mentor retention rate for a 12 month mentor/mentee match is 85%, well above the national average.
Our mentors and mentees make a strong impact on each other’s lives and learn and grow from the mentoring process.
Partnerships with local schools allow us to meet a wide variety of specific needs through youth mentoring. Students are selected upon referral of school counselor, teachers, or parental/guardian request.
