THE BIGGER PICTURE MENTOR PROGRAM "Preserving The Past, Promoting The Future!"

TBP is a mentorship program designed to provide services for at-risk youth who are either unhoused or residing in low-income communities. It aims to support those dealing with life stressors, as well as youth facing turbulent transitions into adulthood. The program offers a positive support system to help avoid the pitfalls that could disrupt their lives."

The FSH mentorship program is designed for

youth to develop as leaders while building compassion, empathy, and a greater understanding

of the root causes for people experiencing homelessness.

Our Youth connect with our Mentors because we provide a safe haven where authentic connections are made. The environment is one where the youth know that their voice matters.  Youth ideas, concepts, and input are included with making decisions about community projects and events that are for their peers. 

Our parent CBO Feed Sacramento Homeless host monthly community pop-up events for the unhoused members in Sacramento. These events provide a platform for our Youth to give back to the communities they live in. Youth have the opportunity to create, plan, and execute these community events, allowing youth to build their leadership skills.

The Youth that have experienced our program have graduated high school, have gain employment, have completed probation, and enjoy giving back to their community. 

TBP Mentors are a resource for at-risk youth to gain coping skills, confidence, and self-advocacy skills.  Mentors inspire positive change, leadership skills, and character development, and enable youth to visualize their futures clearly.  TBP mentor program will provide participants with opportunities to develop the work-related skills needed to navigate into adulthood successfully.
