Mentoring A Touch From Above

Mentoring A Touch From Above Thousands of young men and women are incarcerated every year in California's juvenile justice system.

Mentoring A Touch From Above (MATFA) mentors incarcerated and at-risk youth to help them become positive, productive young adults by emphasizing accountability and forgiveness and providing life skills. Every one of these young people deserve the opportunity, support, and guidance to turn their lives around and stay out of the criminal justice system. According to statistics 70% of those who have

been incarcerated will re-offend within three years and will find themselves back in prison. MATFA trains and supports mentors to help youth in the program acquire skills for successful and positive re-entry into society. Our mentors counsel all individuals in our program to help them understand why they are "at-risk" of being incarcerated again if they do not change their lives. Mentors assist youth to transition into society as productive and contributing citizens. MATFA's curriculum has helped young people succeed by evaluating the choices they make on a daily basis.

We are always looking for volunteers to help mentor and advise at risk youth, students, and adults. For more information...
