On the path to success and independence

Your sponsorship funds the journey of young people in our program, guided by our four core values.

Accept

We accept our youth unconditionally and support them for who they are.

Connect

We emphasize building ongoing connections through our many initiatives.

Equip

We equip our youth with the tools and skills to grow into positive young men and women.

Encourage

We form lifelong connections and encourage youth to reach their full potential.

Mentoring Works

In their own words

H4Y has been such a support system when I needed to talk to someone. It is a community filled with people who want to help us succeed in life. It helped me connect to others and I felt less alone in a time when I really needed that.

Gloria, Mentee

I was the first one to graduate in my family! It wasn't always easy, and there were still days when I struggled being motivated, but now, 2.5 years later of being with Heart For Youth I graduated with my CNA certificate and have a great job working with kids at a daycare on the Stanford campus. I am happy and know I can accomplish anything I put my heart into.
