Youth Mentoring Network
(Program formerly known as Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Upper Ohio Valley)
The Youth Mentoring Network is designed for youth experiencing one or more risk factors: parent or caregiver that is/has been incarcerated, experiencing homelessness and/or trafficking, identify as LGBTQ, placed in foster care, difficulty with peers, academic challenges, family risk/stress, and/or low self-esteem. Children between the ages of six and seventeen (6-17) who reside in Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel, Tyler counties of West Virginia, and Belmont County of Ohio are eligible for the program. Children who are matched can share everyday activities with their mentor: eating out, playing sports or attending sporting events, going to movies, sightseeing, or just hanging out.
