History of Torchlight Youth Mentoring Alliance

In January 2019 the agency became Torchlight Youth Mentoring Alliance, which allowed us to create innovative programs to better serve our communities. We believe in and are committed to continuing to provide mentors to youth through our many programs. In the 40 years we have been serving these three counties, the agency has created and maintained a remarkable 10,000 mentoring relationships. The agency is supported through special events; through local county chapters of the United Way and the Mental Health and Recovery Services Boards of Geauga and Lake Counties; through the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services; and through the generous support of individuals, corporations and foundations.

Our Vision

A future where every young person is supported, inspired, and empowered to reach their highest potential, growing into confident, responsible, caring, and adaptable young adults who contribute positively to their communities and the world.
