The Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance has invested in the future of the community by creating and supervising one-on-one long-term relationships between caring adults and at-risk school children in need of academic and social support.

• Mentoring fosters trust through a caring relationship.
• Mentoring provides assistance to learn important skills.
• Mentoring creates self-confidence and enables kids to aspire to their dreams.
• Mentoring helps kids cope with problems.

The organization supports each child with individualized attention and works differently from other local charitable organizations in that we:

• Carefully pair a child with an adult mentor through thoughtful selection and monitoring
• Staff well-equipped, on-campus centers where mentors and mentees meet weekly
• Organize enriching field trips and social events
• Offer mentor training and support programs as well as counseling services
• Provide ongoing mentee support through scholarships and empowerment programs
