The founder of Grameen Bank, Muhammed Yunus, was in Seattle not that long ago… pretty much the pioneer of the microlending movement. Hope you got to connect…

CfY is more than a one-on-one mentoring program pairing students from three of Seattle’s high schools – Cleveland, Rainier Beach and Sealth – with adult mentors. It builds a family-like community of students and mentors who support each other.

Students and mentors participate in intensive, growth-focused four-day camps, monthly workshops and community activities that foster life-success skills. This curriculum, focused on building healthy relationships and developing insights, is the foundation of the program’s success.

CfY is transformational for students and mentors alike. It gives them new insights into how to approach their lives.

We place a strong emphasis on mentor training and support. We carefully train our mentors to coach students, keep boundaries, and build healthy relationships.

What does it take to be a Community for Youth mentor? Dependability, patience, flexibility… and most of all, a relentless commitment to a young person’s success. CfY mentors come from all walks of life. They are single and married, in early careers and retired, of all ethnic groups, beliefs and lifestyles. In short, they are like our students – diverse, inquisitive, open to new experiences, and willing to grow and change.
