Enroll a Child
Is there a child in your life that needs the extra support of a Big Buddy or the guidance of our Experiential Group Mentoring Program? Youth are referred to our programs for a variety of reasons:
- Family crisis
- In need of companionship
- Peer bullying
- Child neglect
- Alcohol or drug abuse
- Developmental disabilities and more.
- Many of our Little Buddies just want another person in their life to spend quality time with!
Anyone – a parent or guardian, school counselor or administrator, social worker or friend - can refer an adolescent or teenager to our programs. We serve youth, ages 6 to 17 years old, from Aspen to Parachute, Colorado.
Please fill out our youth referral form online or fill out the PDF (see below) and mail it to our offices. If you have additional questions regarding a child’s needs, please call our Aspen or Mid-Valley offices (Contact).
