About us:
our mission
The mission of Mesa County Partners is to make a difference in the lives of young people by helping them develop a positive self-image, a sense of belonging, and an acceptance of responsibility for their actions.
our vision
Many young people get into trouble because they lack the experience coping with problems and pressures that exist in their lives at home, in school, and in the community.
Partners believes that a one-to-one mentoring relationship with a successfully coping adult can help a young person learn skills that will improve his/her adjustment to societal expectations.
Our goal is to help young people become independent and productive members of society.
