Spectrum Mentoring Program is a community-based program with a goal of matching the youth served by Spectrum with caring, responsible adult volunteers. It is our agency’s mission to work together with youth and their families to strengthen their abilities to live successfully in their community. Along with Spectrum youth, we also serve youth in the Burlington City middle schools and the high school. Our youth age ranges from 11 years to 21 years with an average age of 15 years old. The Spectrum Mentoring Program is available to match youth in any Chittenden County community with a Spectrum SAP Counselor in its school.
