— means the filing doesn't include the lines needed; details and sources below.·How to read these figures

This filing's expense lines don't reconcile: program spending (line 5000) plus overhead (5010 + 5020) adds up to more than total spending (4950). Cents-to-cause and overhead can't both be right, and the filing doesn't say which — so this charity is left out of ranked search results for this filing year. We show both figures exactly as filed; read them together with this in mind, or check the public record ↗.

Mentorship is at the core of the work we do at Affinity. This program is delivered by a program coordinator whose role is to recruit train match and support mentors in their mentoring relationships. Mentors are matched one-on-one with youth participants to support them in developing and strengthening relationship and communication skills while encouraging the youth to set and reach goals and participate in community activities. In 2021 Affinity expanded its target population to include all youth at-risk of justice involvement. Benefits of mentoring include increased skill development and confidence which increase a youth’s likelihood of high school graduation and securing employment. Community benefits that result from a reduction in youth recidivism and justice involvement prevention are massive with respect to increased community safety and overall increase in quality of life for our youth and their mentors. Affinity staff and volunteers connect with youth at-risk of justice involvement to build relationships and increase community connections to support the youth in developing skills and finding purpose. Program topics are vast and include recreation cooking volunteering cultural diversity and money management.
