YouForward Mentors

YouForward Mentors

Whether you prefer working with a mentor one-on-one, or in a group setting, we can help you reach your goals. Our team includes peer mentors, who are also young adults and have personal, lived experience with mental health.

To get involved, you can stop by a Drop-In Center or contact us to learn more.

Reaching Goals

Our staff of mentors and facilitators can help you bring the pieces of your adult life together, whether you’re finishing high school, going to college, or moving into your own apartment.  We can help with getting a driver’s license, finding training programs, making a lifestyle change, or connecting to parenting resources.

Gathering and Inspiring Future Talent (GIFT)

GIFT is all about discovering talents and turning them into gifts.  We help you find the strength and hope in your personal comeback story and learn how to use it to inspire others. The course also focuses on effective communication and collaboration. This training is a good opportunity for young adults who are interested in becoming peer mentors.  GIFT Trainings are held at our Drop-In Centers.
