Many want healthy, stable living environments with a strong network of friends and family.  They have had their lives detoured and not able to get back on track.  Some are without a proper support system.  Many are facing stress, low self-esteem and isolation, which may have impacted them negatively. There is also a great risk of depression,  behavior issues, drug and alcohol use, abuse, self-inflicting harm, teenage pregnancy, and homelessness, and criminal activities.  For some, mentoring a youth whose parent is incarcerated can help children by improving their relationships which will inturn raducie the likelihood that they will initiate violence. 

The Sistah Hive and The Sistah Hub are providing quality, lasting one-to-one relationships to youth and adults, and those of offenders.  We pair each one with caring role models for future success.  Our mentors provide opportunities to gain new skills and interests and expand their experiences by acting as a trusted friend.
