ALS Youth Mentoring Initiative
The Susie Foundation is bringing the power of one-to-one mentoring to the lives of children who have a parent, guardian, or family member living with ALS!
Our evidence-based, outcomes-focused program model builds on the best practices of community-based mentoring to bring - for the very first time! - an intentionally designed, high-quality, and professional supporting one-to-one mentoring model to the lives of children impacted by ALS.
​
In this program, screened, trained, and professionally supported volunteer mentors works closely with parents and agency staff to provide their mentees with dedicated time and attention for at least 6-10 hours each month. During unstructured bi-weekly activities, filled with conversations and shared activities, mentors and mentees develop a relationship that helps youth manage the everyday challenges of growing up alongside ALS.
