Challenges Facing Puget Sound Youth

Too many kids do not have a mentor

One in three children in the U.S. don’t have a sustained adult mentor outside of their family. Our region alone has over one million kids.

Youth mental health is at crisis levels

According to the Anne E Casey Foundation’s 2023 study, 58% of young people say their mentor has supported their mental health.

The widening equity gap

Mentorship plays a crucial role in bridging capital and fostering upward economic mobility. We see a 20% increase in upward economic mobility through expanded social networks.

Pressure to engage in risky behavior

Kids who have been through a positive mentor experience are 41% less likely to engage in substance abuse.
