Mentorship
Credible Connection
Our mentorship program connects youth with trained
Credible Messengers—certified Substance Abuse Counselors
and professionals with lived experience. Through authentic
relationships built on trust and shared understanding, we
help youth build confidence, navigate challenges, and
develop essential skills for a positive future.

Weekly
The G.R.O.W. Playbook
Our interactive workbooks (like G.R.O.W. S.L.A.Y.,
The Driver's Seat, I Once Was Now I Am) provide
evidence-based curricula focused on gang prevention,
emotional regulation, substance abuse education, and
reentry readiness. Youth engage with materials tailored
to their experiences, fostering self-reflection and
practical skill-building.

Focus on your work
Group Circles
G.R.O.W. groups Facilitated within
juvenile halls, schools, and community settings, our
Groups provide a safe, trauma-informed space for youth
to share experiences, learn from peers, and practice
new skills together. Led by Credible Messengers, these
circles foster belonging, reduce isolation, and build
collective strength.

The essentials
One-on-One
Each youth partners with a dedicated Credible
Messenger/Case Manager for individualized guidance.
Through confidential conversations, we collaboratively
develop personalized plans (ISPs), address unique
challenges, set achievable goals, and connect youth to
vital community resources, ensuring they have the
specific support needed to succeed.
This personalized support is delivered contextually –
focusing on academic success and social navigation
within schools, addressing coping mechanisms and
reentry planning within juvenile halls, or applying
life skills and connecting to resources within the
community.
