Donate

We believe that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe. Your donation helps us make that possible.

We’re the only nonprofit mentoring program serving this part of the Upper Valley, and we rely entirely on local generosity to keep our program going. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us build stronger, more connected communities.

Why Your Gift Matters

When you give, you’re not just funding a program — you’re showing up for a child who needs someone in their corner.

We run a lean operation with one part-time staff member and a team of dedicated volunteers. But it still takes real resources to:

Carefully match each child with the right mentor
Provide training and ongoing support for mentors
Host events and enrichment experiences for our mentees
Offer transportation assistance for families who need it
Cover background checks and materials for new volunteers
Build relationships with local schools and businesses
Maintain and grow our program to reach more kids
