Building the networks young people need to succeed.

Somerville Mentorship Program

Damian, a Somerville youth, practicing his parkour

In Somerville, turning 18 can feel like the end of your time in the community. Youth programs end, the sense of belonging and support often disappears. It can be unclear what to do next.

“I’m looking for someone to help me make a blueprint of my goals over the next couple of years. I want to get my finances right, apply to college, and work on my life”

-Damian Chaplain, 18, SHS Senior, Parkour Coach​​

Join us in creating pathways for young people to grow into leaders within Somerville, guided by mentors and a network of community members who understand their backgrounds, barriers, and goals firsthand, because they’ve walked the same path.

Growing people, capacity, and community.
