Northville Youth Assistance (NYA) is a volunteer-supported
organization that provides social services to youths and their
families. The program offers professional counseling as well as the
opportunity for a youth to establish a supportive relationship with
a trained volunteer mentor. The purpose of the program is to mentor
youths so they may become mature, responsible adults. Examples of
kids who can benefit from mentoring are those who recently moved
into the community; have experienced a death of a parent; have no
contact with one parent; have a grandparent as a primary caregiver;
have a difficult time making friends, etc. The youths range in age
from 5-16 years old.
Volunteer mentors are concerned citizens who share one or more
hours per week with a youth. They are carefully screened and receive
15 hours of training followed by on-going guidance and support of
the program staff. Mentors are matched one-on-one with a youth and
enjoy activities such as walking in the park, playing basketball,
baking cookies and going to museums, the library and sporting
events.
