Our Juvenile Justice Mentoring Program is designed to help youth lay a foundation upon which they can build toward success in every aspect of life. This spiritual foundation is the launching point that empowers them to reach beyond themselves and their negative circumstances. The mentor comes along side a youth in a one to one relationship becoming a trusted friend and guide. The relationship building may take place within a detention center, treatment facility, or group home and continue as youth transition into the community. The mentor and the youth meet once a week for 1 to 4 hours. Over time, this relationship provides the youth with the tools need to overcome the obstacles they face in their life.

Mentoring Mission:
To offer youth the promise of a hope and a future through the power of a relationship with God and with a, loving adult.

Mentoring Vision:
To join at risk youth with adult Christian role models in order to use the power of relationships to change their hearts and redirect their lives towards God’s full purposes for them, their family and society.

Join us:
Release Ministries is looking for Christian mentors over the age of 18 who have a heart for struggling/at-risk youth. You will be their friend, guide, and advocate. These youth simply need someone to listen to them and be an example of what it means to live in relationship with the Lord.
