Who We Are

Crawford County Mentors is made up of local people who care deeply about children and our community. We are parents, educators, volunteers, and neighbors who believe that no young person should feel alone or without support. Our team brings real-life experience working with youth and families, and we take our responsibility seriously. That’s why we complete thorough screening and training, and stay closely involved to support both mentors and mentees. We lead with heart, but we also do the work carefully and thoughtfully—because the children and families we serve deserve nothing less.
