Carmel Youth Assistance Mentor Program
Every child deserves a positive role model in their corner - a mentor that he or she can trust and rely upon. Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back?
Through the Carmel Youth Assistance Program (CYAP) Mentoring Program, a caring adult is paired with a student in the community who is in need. Together, they spend one-hour a week engaging in new experiences and valuable conversations - making a lasting impact on both the mentor and mentee. Children matched with mentors do better in school, have higher self-esteem and make better choices. A CYAP student is ready to meet you! Consider giving back and watch the rewards compound.
