Real connection. Real support. Real fun.
Our one-to-one mentoring program matches Junior CoPilots (ages 6–17) with trained Lead CoPilots (ages 16–29) for weekly hangouts that build confidence, skills, and belonging. From homework help to pick-up sports and shared hobbies, youth show up for youth — creating trusted relationships that make a lasting difference.

Youth Training & Leadership Development

Building skills. Growing leaders. Creating pathways.
Youth CoPilots offers hands-on training and development workshops that equip Lead CoPilots with leadership, communication, and mentoring skills they can use for life. These sessions build confidence, responsibility, and real-world experience — preparing young people to lead, support others, and thrive in their communities.

More than a program — a community.
Through bi -monthly group activities like bowling nights, movie and pizza nights, and group sports, Youth CoPilots creates a welcoming community where youth feel connected, included, and excited to belong. These shared experiences strengthen friendships, reduce isolation, and help youth see themselves as part of something bigger.
