Carters Community Youth Foundation

“-Carter's Community Youth Foundation is a Nonprofit 501C3 TAX EXEMPT STATUS Organization providing mentoring programs for elementary, middle, and high school youth in the Greater Houston area. The program form partnerships with local school districts and the juvenile court system. Carter's Community Youth Foundation goals are to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills, and reassert a sense of hope in the future. Only through personal relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be reestablished that will give youth the commitment to follow through on path to adulthood with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Through repeated failures in the classroom and the development of destructive habits, at-risk youth have lost faith in the possibilities that await them if they are successful in putting their lives together. To accomplish this goal, young people must be in a caring, inclusive learning environment that promotes their best effort and reinforces personal respect. Carter's Community Youth Foundation program is in direct response to the growing number of young people that are either falling through the cracks at school or are already entangled with the juvenile court system. The goal of the program is to identify youths who are going to have a turbulent transition to adulthood and offer positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives. The focus is slightly different at each level, but the goal remains the same; empowering the young person to make positive changes in his/her life. Carter's Community Youth Foundation focuses primarily on middle school youths. It is projected that within three years, 50% of the system's students will be in middle school. This age group is particularly problematic and a perfect time for mentoring to be effective.”
