Mission Freedom 4 Youth's mission is to uplift and empower youth to build safe and compassionate communities.
Membership Benefits Mentors get to work directly with youth who are in the juvenile justice system while also getting to see and participate in the functioning of a nonprofit. We do weekly programming and workshops that are rooted in building leadership and communication skills and we follow and support the youth through their journey both in and outside of the juvenile justice system. Some of the many things that mentors can assist the youth with include applying for college, creating resumes and preparing for job interviews, improving public speaking skills and forming healthy ways to communicate with others. We hold various community events throughout the year in addition to our annual conference and mentors have the additional opportunity to do work at our center in downtown Santa Barbara.
