The Need: Every child deserves the opportunity to live a long, healthy and productive life! According to the U.S. Census Bureau estimates, there were 41,731,233 youth age 10-19 in the United States, 13% of the total U.S. population, in 2015. 16 million of them are growing up without a mentor. On the average, one out of every three young people doesn't have a trusted adult who they believe they can turn to for advice and guidance outside of their home. Of those young people, 9 million faces a variety of day-to-day challenges that put them at-risk of not reaching their full potential.
