VOAWW Mentoring Children of Promise Charity Profile

Mentoring Children of Promise (MCP), a free program of Volunteers of America Western Washington, was created in response to the need for children with an incarcerated parent to have stable, caring adults in their lives.

Children of incarcerated parents are at-risk youth are more likely to become
incarcerated at some point in their lives.
Research shows that quality mentoring can make a difference. Our mentoring programs can help reduce first time drug and alcohol use, increase regular school attendance, improve grades, and benefit caregiver and peer relationships.

Our children are between the ages 4 and 18. They have a parent in prison or involved in the criminal justice system. We have fantastic children on the waiting list who only need a friend, a caring adult to spend some time with them. Only a few hours a month makes all the difference and it’s fun!
