Durham Companions is a non-profit organization whose goal is to provide consistent and positive role models to young people ages 6–17 years old. Its purpose isn’t to help good kids be better kids, but to save the lives of young men and women who desperately need love and attention. Several youth in the program have made mistakes, but are looking for guidance to realize their full potential. You can be the one who can show them the way.

Statistics from previous mentoring relationships through Durham Companions show that approximately 95% of the youth have refrained from illegal activities after being matched for one year. Without proper guidance these youth may end up in training school and the financial impact to the community would be twenty times greater than the cost of this mentoring program.
