EMPOWERING 
​YOUTH THROUGH MENTORSHIP

EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH MENTORSHIP

Our Dare to Dream®​ program matches mentors with youth to navigate life's challenges together, providing advice, encouragement, and a supportive community. We believe that the simple act of telling a mentee "I believe in you," "You are special," and "You are going to do great things" can transform their journey entirely. Mentors meet both practical and emotional needs, guiding their mentees through tailored developmental milestones. Mentors commit to meeting with their mentees every other week to set goals and help them achieve their dreams. While the relationships ideally last a lifetime, the program is a one-year commitment.

TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH
​STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS

After years of receiving anecdotal feedback attesting to the effectiveness of our programming, National Angels contracted with the University of Texas at Austin, Texas Institute for Child & Family Wellbeing (TXICFW) to measure our impact of transformation across our programs. Our Dare to Dream® program shows:​
