About
The Youth Mentor Connector Program is based in Drayton Valley, and services The Town of Drayton Valley and County. It's strategic partners include FCSS, the Drayton Valley R.C.M.P., and the Town of Drayon Valley. The program serves Youth 12 - 25 years of age, that have been involved with criminal activity or are at risk of participating in criminal activity due to poor relationships, family discord, drugs and alcohol use, or disconnection with school. We believe that given the opportunity to connect, by choice, to community mentorship and leadership opportunities, youth are more likely to become a positive and contributing member of the community.
All mentees must be referred to the Youth Mentor Connector. The following are examples of those who may refer a youth.
