Be the person you wish you had as a teen by becoming a youth mentor.
Level Up by New Pathways for Youth works with Phoenix-area high school-aged kids who have experienced high levels of adversity. Youth are matched with a volunteer mentor, who serves as a caring and stable adult in their life and supports them in completing our research-based program for setting and meeting personal goals. Become a mentor today!
“I’ve watched Alondra bravely face challenges I never could at her age. She’s learned how to become brave with sharing her feelings. And that’s inspired me to be brave, because if she can do it, and she’s 16, I better step up. I better start being brave.”
– Cheryl, NPFY Volunteer Youth Mentor
“New Pathways has given me the opportunity to give back in a way that is, in many ways, my personal thank you to my mentors. If not for them, I don’t know where I’d be.”
– Shaquin, NPFY Volunteer Youth Mentor
