Safe and Effective Ministry to the Fatherless and At-Risk Youth Right Here on Long Island
Long Island Youth Mentoring has been partnering in ministry with God’s Church to mentor at-risk youth for nearly half a century. The heart of the mentoring ministry is seen in our Mission Statement: To assist the Christian church on Long Island in the responsible evangelism of at-risk youth and their families, providing them with hope through caring relationships and developmental opportunities for the whole person (spiritual, mental, physical, social).
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world. - James 1:27
God shares His call to visit and minister to the fatherless 40 times in His word. We are here to answer that call safely and effectively.
Become a Mentor, Change a Life
Anger, poverty, and hopelessness are just a few of the multigenerational by-products of fatherlessness. God loves these children. He has called His Church to express His love and illuminate His way.
Are you interested in spending 2-4 hours a week with one child who has requested a Christian mentor? If He has called you, your assigned child is waiting. Find out more & apply to be a mentor below.
