Positive Adult Leaders in Society (P.A.L.S.)

Homeless Children's Mentoring Program
P.A.L.S., previously known as Stepping Stones, is a mentoring program for children and youth ages 5 to 15 living in homeless transitional shelters with their families. This program has been in existence since 1992, formerly under the direction of the Mental Health Association of Arizona. P.A.L.S. offers individual mentoring, encourages academic achievement and provides positive adult interaction. All mentors receive comprehensive training and on-going coaching and support as they mentor once a week with their young person. Monthly workshops on age-appropriate topics and social activities at our center strengthen outcomes for program participants.
