Mentoring Youth Through Sports

Established in 2002, Mentor Athletics invests in the lives of low income youth through sports.  Our goal is to match each of the kids in our programs with a caring mentor (Coach) who builds into his/her life. 

A majority of Mentor Athletics kids live in Housing Authority of Clackamas County public housing in Oregon City; others live in Milwaukie and Southeast Portland.

In addition to each child’s personal goals our Coaches inspire the kids to:

Be Healthy: Our goal is for 70 percent of Mentor Athletics kids to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily.  According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 42 percent of children get the recommended amount of exercise (60 minutes daily). 

Be Educated:  Our goal  is for 80% of Mentor Athletics kids to have less than six absences per school year.

Be Kind:   Yes, “kind” is simplistic but perfectly explains an important component of our program.
