Join our Mentorship Movement

It takes a community to make a difference, and together, we can transform the lives of our youth for generations to come.

An invitation

We believe in our youth, and that belief drives us to take action. The One Fresno Foundation's Mentorship Movement invites both our youth and adult leaders to join us in shaping Fresno's future.

Through strategic partnerships with the U.S. National Guard's Grizzly Youth Academy and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California, we are creating meaningful opportunities to invest in every child and make a lasting difference.

Fresno Unified Mentoring Office

The mission of the Mentoring Office is to develop and deliver comprehensive programs and services in partnership with the community and schools. These initiatives aim to foster meaningful mentoring relationships, enhance academic achievement, and strengthen social-emotional skills, empowering students to succeed both in the classroom and in life.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central CA

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California empowers children to reach their potential through one-to-one mentoring. Serving Fresno, Kings, Madera, and Tulare counties, they pair youth with caring mentors to build confidence, improve social skills, and foster personal growth. Their evidence-based programs create lasting impacts, inspiring "Littles" and "Bigs" alike.

Grizzly Youth Academy

Grizzly Youth Academy, operated by the California National Guard, empowers at-risk youth through a structured residential program focused on education, discipline, and essential life skills. It equips students to overcome challenges, build self-confidence, and work toward brighter, more successful futures.
