Youth at Civicorps have the ambition, talent, and perseverance to succeed; what they

deserve is personalized mentoring and support as they develop a plan to achieve their

goals. Our participants have experienced failures of multiple systems - the traditional

school system, the justice system, and the child welfare system. Against a larger Bay Area
