Mission
SAVE OUR YOUTH IS A TRANSFORMATIVE ONE-TO-ONE YOUTH MENTORING PROGRAM DEDICATED TO ERADICATING FINANCIAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, AND RELATIONAL POVERTY AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS THE DENVER METRO AREA. THROUGH CONSISTENT, SUPPORTIVE MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS, SAVE OUR YOUTH EMPOWERS YOUTH TO GROW ACADEMICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND SOCIALLY, BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN POTENTIAL AND OPPORTUNITY. OUR INDIVIDUALIZED MENTORING MODEL FOSTERS RESILIANCE, CULTIVATES HOPE, AND SUPPORTS LONG-TERM SUCCESS THROUGH TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS, COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, AND A NURTURING, STRENGTHS- BASED ENVIRONMENT.
-
IN 2025, SAVE OUR YOUTH PROVIDED TRANSFORMATIVE MENTORING SERVICES TO 296 YOUNG INDIVIDUALS IN THE DENVER METRO AREA AND LONGMONT, CO, FACILITATING 96 NEW MENTOR-MENTEE MATCHES. PLUS, THERE WERE 125 NEW MENTOR APPLICANTS IN 2025. OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MENTORING, INFORMED BY RESEARCH FROM THE NATIONAL MENTORING PARTNERSHIP, IS YIELDING SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE OUTCOMES. MENTORED YOUTH ARE 55% MORE LIKELY TO ENROLL IN COLLEGE, 52% LESS LIKELY TO SKIP SCHOOL, 78% MORE LIKELY TO VOLUNTEER REGULARLY, AND 130% MORE LIKELY TO HOLD LEADERSHIP POSITIONS. THIS IMPACTFUL INVESTMENT IS UNDERSCORED BY DATA SHOWING THAT EVERY DOLLAR ALLOCATED TO QUALITY YOUTH MENTORING PROGRAMS YIELDS A 3 RETURN IN SOCIETAL BENEFITS (SOURCE: THE MENTORING EFFECT, 2014). ADDITIONALLY, SAVE OUR YOUTH BOASTS A COMMENDABLE 92% ON- TIME HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE, WITH AN AVERAGE MATCH LENGTH OF 29 MONTHS. 70% OF MENTEES WHO INITIALLY REPORTED FEELING LONELINESS NO LONGER REPORT FEELING LONELY. THROUGH OUR COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH, WE ENSURE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE RECEIVE THE EMOTIONAL, ACADEMIC, AND RESOURCE SUPPORT NECESSARY FOR GENERATIONAL TRANSFORMATION.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
