Review for Denver Youth Program dba Metro Denver Partners, Denver, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

For over 45 years Partners’ youth mentoring has held great promise in helping young people succeed in life. Studies provide strong evidence that one-to-one mentoring relationships reduce the incidence of delinquency, substance use, and academic failure. Further, these mentoring Partnerships promote positive outcomes, such as improved self-esteem, social skills, and knowledge of career opportunities. At the same time, Partners is benefiting another group of youth through our GRASP program (GANG RESCUE AND SUPPORT PROJECT) which helps youth leave the gang subculture through group meetings, educational support, assistance with job hunting, and recreational and cultural experiences. This nationally acclaimed program is exceedingly effective in rescuing youth caught in the devastating gang life-style. Your donation will not only change these young people’s lives, it will make our communities safer.
