Mentoring programs are essential - "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."

It is the mission of 1 On 1 Mentoring to empower the youth of Decatur County to make positive life choices. We recognize the value of youth mentoring programs. Our 1 On 1 Mentors encourage students to stay motivated and focused on their education by assisting them to face daily challenges in order to maximize their personal potential.

The 1 On 1 Mentoring program works with Decatur County Middle Schools, with assistance from the local Sheriff's Office, to match students in critical 5th – 8th adolescent grades with positive adult volunteers from our community.
