Mentor Program
Welcome to the Mentor Program at Cry Foundation! We’re all about making a real difference for inner-city youth with a fresh and inclusive take on mentoring. Our program is designed to tackle tough stuff like staying out of trouble, avoiding teen pregnancy, and dealing with the challenges of substance abuse, mental health issues, and trauma. But it’s not all serious—through fun activities like sports, music, and heritage arts, we help young people grow, heal, and build resilience in a way that feels meaningful and exciting. On top of that, we’re here to help with the important education stuff too—whether it’s figuring out applications, scoring scholarships, or handling tuition, we’ve got their backs. Our goal? To make sure every young person has the tools and support they need to chase their dreams and succeed. Let’s work together to create brighter futures, empower young lives, and build stronger, more vibrant communities!
