Program Overview

Project Jericho's Child Outreach Program helps to empower youth in our community to make positive life choices that enable them to maximize their potential. The mentoring program uses adult Christian Family volunteers to commit to supporting, guiding, and being a friend to a young person for a period of at least one year. These volunteers we call Life Coaches. By becoming part of a Christian network of adults and community members who care about the youth, the mentor can help youth develop and reach Christian, academic, career, and personal goals.
