Cornerstone Mentoring Program

Did you know that young people who are in a quality mentoring relationship are more likely to do better in school and have aspirations to go to college? They’re more equipped to make responsible decisions and model good behavior too. These qualities make them more likely to grow up to be a productive and engaged citizen, which makes our communities stronger.

To find out more information on how you can become a mentor, please contact Cynthia Malave-Baez via email at Cmalave-baez@dycd.nyc.gov or by phone at 646.343.6468
