Mentoring Overview

mentoringheader

America On Track has two highly customized, time-proven mentoring programs:

  • Kids On Track... Through Mentoring & Fitness
  • Mentoring Children of Prisoners program

Since 1995, these two programs alone have generated over 150,000 hours of services to disadvantaged youths and their families, which in turn have generated 20 local, state and national awards for outstanding youth services. In 2004 and again in 2010, On Track received the Santa Ana Community Building Award and in 1999, Terry Thompson and Claire Braeburn were honored by the President of the United States, at the Oval Office, for exemplary volunteer achievements.
