The
Building Future mission is to help at-risk youth overcome personal, social, and family challenges through a positive adult-child
relationship. Building Futures offers 1-to-1 mentoring to at-risk youth in San Francisco/Marin/San Mateo/Alameda counties.
We help children develop tools to cope with issues such as low self-esteem, family and peer conflicts, academic underachievement,
and decision-making skills. We are unique in that we provide a 15-hour paraprofessional training to all mentors before matching,
which prepares them to work successfully with at-risk youth by developing relationship-building skills, exploring issues
facing at-risk youth, and strategies to handle difficult situations. Thorough ongoing support is provided by the coordinator
who is a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. Program Type: Community-based
