Youth Mentoring Programs

Every youth needs a mentor. 

It is a part of God’s natural design for human development—and in helping those reach their God-given potential. Mentoring is a one-to-one relationship where an older mature person serves as a role-model to a youth. This can take many different forms but always includes a personal connection where mentor and mentee build a trusting relationship. 

CAYM has helped over 600 nonprofits and churches start and grow safe, effective, and sustainable mentoring programs. Our trainers help design and implement mentoring programs focused on local community strengths, needs, and aspirations. 


CAYM has experienced trainers and consultants who average over 25 years in evidence-based mentoring in Christ-centered ministries. Check out our training and programs page to find out how to get started.

Youth Mentor Training & Programs

Mentoring is an fundamental tool in helping children and youth find their way in life. Unfortunately, many youth lack natural mentors who can guide them through the often difficult task of growing up. Mentoring that is safe, effective and sustainable takes a dedicated team of people who can promote and manage the ministry. CAYM can help you build a new mentoring program or make your existing ministry more effective. Check out our Services to learn more.
