Thank you for supporting the 12th Annual Uncorked and Unplugged Fundraiser. Your generous donations benefit Children's Mentoring Connection of Hancock County (CMC). Your support allows us to build on the 46-year-old rich history our agency has in supporting our children. CMC provides mentoring programming for youth ages 6 - 18, focusing on ages 6 - 14. Mentoring programs address youth prevention and development. Children in our Community Program are primarily living with single parents, grandparents, or other caregivers. Children in our School-Based programs have been identified by school personnel and parents/caregivers who would benefit from extra support and guidance in a school-based setting. Mentoring guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them and assists in dealing with day-to-day challenges. Mentoring connects the mentee to personal growth, development, and social and economic resources.

1 in 3 young people do not have a mentor. CMC aims to close this mentoring gap and drive equity through quality mentoring relationships for young people. For young people, the potential is equally distributed; the opportunity is not. We strive to connect young people with opportunities everywhere they are, from schools, community, workplaces and beyond. The activities and guidelines we provide are the frameworks to allow these relationships to grow and develop.

CMC is a people-powered program, and our incredible volunteer mentors are the heart of CMC. Our mentors, along with our extensive list of community partners and your generosity, allows us to continue to serve our children at this most critical time. Thank you for supporting our kids.
