Our Services

4Given Mentoring offers referral-based youth mentoring services, tailored to the needs of each young person and family we work with.

One-to-One Youth Mentoring

Each youth is paired with a dedicated mentor for individualized guidance, goal-setting, and consistent support built around their specific needs.

Group Mentoring

Youth come together for structured group activities built around our 4 Key Goals, building peer connection, teamwork, and shared accountability alongside their individual growth.

Daily Living Skills

Practical coaching in daily routines, personal responsibility, and career readiness — from time management to resume building — that helps youth function successfully at school, at home, and in the community.

Transportation

Reliable transportation to and from mentoring sessions, activities, and community events, helping remove a common barrier to consistent participation.

4 Key Goals

Every mentoring relationship at 4Given is structured around four key goals, each with its own focus areas and hands-on activities.

Personal Development & Growth Mindset

This goal focuses on building self-esteem, emotional regulation, and a growth mindset — the belief that youth can change and improve. Through journaling, motivational workshops, positive affirmations, and guest speakers who’ve overcome adversity, youth build the confidence and self-awareness to set and follow through on personal goals.

Functional & Adaptive Skill Development

Youth build practical, everyday skills — from personal responsibility and communication to time management and career readiness — through activities like resume building, trade skills workshops, and college and career exploration, preparing them to succeed in school, work, and independent life.

Community & Leadership

Youth develop leadership and communication skills while building a sense of belonging and purpose through volunteer projects, peer mentoring, and service learning — activities like community clean-ups and giving back to veterans that connect them to their community and each other.

Health & Lifestyle

This goal promotes physical, emotional, and social well-being through fitness challenges, nutrition and hygiene education, group meals, and social-emotional learning that helps youth build healthy habits and relationships.
