Great and marvelous things are happening among us especially as the community progress in economic status. Through technology, many jobs are offered as the businesses are spreading throughout the country. More people are given the opportunity to have employment; but we can also see that the crime rate is going up and also pollution is rampant in spite of the great progress made in the society.

Young people are considered to be the future leaders of the society. What we do and promote to these youth will definitely result in the future. If we lead them to the right path, it will be expected that these kids will develop good conduct in the community. We aim that these young people will serve the country and will be good citizens.

One of the US Government grants given to young people is Mentoring. Mentoring is one of the primary areas of focus of the government in human services in the country. Today over a million of kids are being mentored by youth development experts and believed to expand more. Young people in schools and neighborhoods are the target of this mentoring project and have a program prepared to handle these kids.

The program includes the development of social and emotional of a teenager. With this process it will result in building self-esteem, self-confidence and promotes proficiency and aptitude of a child. It also focuses on the academic performance of every individual that will eventually broaden the perspective of a kid. This method prepares a child for his or her own future and will adapt to the demands of life.

Some of the issues that are being tackled in the mentoring are the abuse of alcohol and drugs, skipping school, peer pressure, pre-marital sex, rebellion against parents and authority, violence and other crimes that are mostly committed by young people growing in the society. The goal is to make this kids have better relationships with parents, in school and in the community. These issues will be carefully handled to trace the root of every misdeed and lead them to a change life.

US Government grants include this mentoring program to ensure that these kids will be better leaders in the society someday. We believe that the young people are the hope of the country.
