Faith in Humanity: Scottsdale workshops mentor thousands each year

Growing up can be tough, but surrounding kids with the right kind of people can make it much easier on them.

A Scottsdale, Arizona group helps that process along, pairing kids with mentors in Workshops for Youth and Families.

The group provides mentoring programs for about 1,200 kids aged 9-19 throughout the year. The group found peer-to-peer mentoring works the best, as children tend to relate and trust someone their own age.

Donations are accepted online.
