Youth Mentoring Connection is a brand that is committed to transforming the lives of at-risk youth through mentoring, creative expression, and life-changing experiences. Our team, which includes staff and Board members who were once mentees and mentors themselves, brings a unique and personal understanding to our work. Our mission is to care for the wounds of these young individuals and shine a light on their gifts, inspiring them to become thriving adults.

With a vision of safe communities worldwide, we use our Gifts Centered Approach to bring vital connection, love, and healing into the lives of these at-risk youth, enabling them to live fully into their passion and purpose. Founded in 2001 by Tony LoRe, a successful businessman turned youth advocate, Youth Mentoring Connection has a rich history of making a difference. Tony sold his business in 1997 to dedicate his life to helping kids, and he now spends all his time and energy connecting youth with mentors in their community.

With his expertise in curriculum development and youth entrepreneurship, he has made significant contributions to empowering young people. Join us at Youth Mentoring Connection and make a lasting impact on the lives of at-risk youth. Donate now and get involved in our programs and events to be a part of this transformative journey
