The Need for SBX Youth Services
In the face of poverty and educational disparities, SBX Youth Services stands as a beacon of hope for our community's young people. We are fueled by the belief that each child holds the potential to transform their future and contribute meaningfully to society.
​
Our commitment is to bridge the gaps of inequality, turning the tide for the one in five children in California living in poverty. We devote our efforts to those facing the greatest challenges, providing services uniquely crafted to uplift, inspire, and empower. Every young person in our community, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the chance to grow, learn, and succeed.
​
We offer academic support, mentorship, and community engagement to equip our youth with the tools to succeed. Through these efforts, we're not only transforming individual lives but also cultivating a resilient community.
​
Our promise is simple: No matter where you come from, we believe in your potential, your dreams, and your future. Because at SBX, we are convinced that investing in our youth today means fostering the changemakers of tomorrow.
For a full academic year
1-on-1 Mentoring
Now on Sale
Each student will receive group, or one-on-one mentoring. All students will have a trained mentor who will meet with them for a minimum of one hour a week for a full academic year. Mentors will also be available to conduct school and class visits to provide additional positive reinforcement. Researchers have found that youth ages 10 to 16 whose relationships lasted at least one year experienced substantial benefits, with significant improvements in feelings of self-worth, perceived social acceptance, perceived scholastic competence, the value placed on school, and the quality of relationships with parents as well as decreases in drug and alcohol use as compared with non-mentored youths. Given the barriers to advancement they face, young males are particularly in need of these developmental supports.

Many students find themselves without the motivation to achieve both in and outside of the classroom. By establishing sustained and trusting relationships, students are more likely to request and accept academic assistance and advice. Through incremental steps, students will place more value in their education and begin to establish positive goals overtime.
Last year, over 400 students were mentored on a weekly basis. In our mentoring program each student receives 1-on-1 or group mentoring for 1 hr a week throughout a full academic year with a trained mentor. Want to join the program? Call or email us today to learn more.
