We inspire students to be their best selves through mentoring, learning experiences, and a powerful community.

Mentorship Meets Community.

We step past traditional, one-to-one mentoring by building a community that Seattle students and their adult mentors can lean on for support.

By creating multiple levels of support and connection for our program participants, we help students develop the tools they need to connect with others, reach out for support, and thrive in their journey beyond CfY - critical skills that have even more relevance in a post-pandemic world.

I actually wrote a few supplement essays on my college statement about CfY because when I first went to high school, I really wanted to give back to my community or be a part of a community, and I didn't know what that meant until I joined CfY. I always thought internships or programs had to be educational or academic - but joining CfY was such a stress reliever.
