Since 1965, the agency has been providing quality mentoring programs for children and their families. 

A member of the Marion Kiwanis and two of his fellow club members were the first mentors of the program.  From that humble beginning, there are now over 1,000 children each year in a variety of mentoring programs.

From individual one-to-one matches in the community and at school sites to group mentoring projects, volunteer mentors make a positive difference in the lives of the children that they mentor.
