Program Overview

Why We Use a Sponsor Model

Roots & Wings is a free mentorship program for girls and boys in our community. We pair teens with mentors who carry real lived experiences. Women and men who’ve survived domestic violence, rebuilt their lives, overcame teen parenthood, broken generational patterns, learned self-respect, and built healthy families.

We refuse to let money be the reason a teen can’t show up. Instead of charging families, we invite the community to sponsor seats and help keep the entire program free.

This isn’t a charity. It’s a community-powered program and every contribution directly supports weekly gatherings, curriculum, supplies, mentor training, snack, activities, and emergency supplies for teens in need.

This is not a tax-deductible donation. This is a community contribution toward program expenses.
