Volunteers for Youth, Inc. operates a mentoring program focused on youth ages seven to seventeen who are referred from multiple sources such as juvenile court, law enforcement, guidance counselors, teachers, mental health professionals, social workers, and parents. The organization emphasizes building trusting relationships between volunteers and young people through shared activities like hiking, basketball, cooking, or reading, with trained volunteers who undergo screening and a three-hour training before placement. Program coordinators provide ongoing consultation and training to support volunteers, aiming to foster self-esteem and life skills in participants. Based in Carrboro, North Carolina, the group positions itself within the civic and social organizations sector, serving as a structured, community-based mentoring service. A notable development noted in recent local coverage is that Volunteers for Youth received a Non-Profit of the Year award at a Claremore Area Chamber of Commerce event in April 2021, reflecting recognition within the broader nonprofit community.
