At-Risk Youth

At-Risk Youth

Mentoring 

Apart from poor physical and mental health, poverty can impede a child’s ability to learn and contribute to social, emotional, and behavioral problems. Children from low-income families are more likely to experience substance abuse and early pregnancy.

Studies show that 1 in every 3 young people grow 
out without a mentor.

ACOH’s mentoring program is therefore aimed at changing at-risk youths’ perspectives and improving their life opportunities. Through this program, we hope to achieve the following outcomes:

  • Promote resiliency amongst at-risk youth
  • Build mentees’ social skills, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
  • Increase high school graduation & college enrolment rates
  • Build better attitudes about schools and reduce school dropout rates.
  • Improve mentees’ behaviors, both at school and at home.
  • Improve interpersonal skills and build better relationships with parents, teachers, and peers.

ACOH works with experienced volunteer mentors to nurture and equip struggling youth with tools to rise above the challenges they face at school, at home, and in the community.

Volunteering and Community Initiatives

We believe young people, especially teenagers, have a great opportunity to give back to society. Benefits of volunteering or getting involved in community activities include:

  • Boosting the youth’s/ teenagers’ self-confidence, mental health, and well-being.
  • Contact with like-minded peers and positive role models other than their parents, hence the ability to see the world in a different way & put values into action for the good of others
  • Opportunity to understand who they are and make new friendships & connection
  • A sense of belonging in the local community
  • Opportunity to apply the skills they already have in doing goods while developing workplace skills.

The goal of this program is therefore to encourage and connect with youth to volunteer opportunities.
