Entrusted Legacy (ETL) is a non-profit that is
working to be sure that every youth has a positive role model and mentor. We believe that most adults who work with
youth, would like to fill this role, but are often unclear about how to do
this. ETL believes that one of the best
ways to ensure the number of role models and mentors needed by our youth, is to
prepare afterschool professionals to accept this role.
Being a role model begins through building
relationships with youth that demonstrate the adult is interested in spending
time with the youth, will be there for them to support them and help them make
good choices, and ultimately believe in the unique possibilities the young
person has. Role models and mentors must
have high standards for themselves and high expectations of those they
mentor. ETL works with partners like
Southern California Edison, Consult 4 Kids and private donors to make this
happen. Recently, one person who
benefited from this support commented, “I
don't know if you know just how much of an impact you have had on my life
(career.) You have redirected my path,
confirming to me that YOUTH DEVELOPMENT really can make an impact on our youth
if we are dedicated to the systems and processes it takes to follow through
with all the training you provided to me.”
Join with us so we
can continue supporting the growth and development of those who work with
youth. When we invest in one adult, the
number of youth they will touch in a lifetime is exponential.
