VISION

We envision a community where vulnerable youth are given the tools and guidance they need to become confident, self-aware, and knowledgeable about the issues that affect them. Our vision is to unite strong community-based intervention programs that will give vulnerable youth access to critical resources as they realize their full potential through our mentoring program. Through inter-agency collaboration, Power ON! Mentees will be able to receive the support they need to become self-advocates, while engaging in positive relationships.

PHILOSOPHY

Power ON! serves to EmPOWER vulnerable youth by providing mentorship, resources, and access to a safe environment. We believe engaging youth in positive and healthy relationships will empower them to become self-advocates and community leaders. With non-judgmental and innovative services, youth will be mentored on how to live enriched lives filled with confidence, safety, and self-respect.
