Peer Mentoring

UpStreet’s Peer Mentoring program matches youth ages 17-22 (mentors) with younger peers ages 12-16 (mentees) to build supportive text messaging-based mentoring relationships.

Research shows that peer mentoring is beneficial for both mentor and mentees, and we’re excited to support youth in making these connections!
