StandByMe was created in 2006 to support at-risk youth in our community in search of support, guidance and God’s love.
Our mission is to help transform the lives of Texas Hill Country kids through 101 Christian mentoring relationships.
StandByMe is a mentoring program that WORKS by matching a Christian adult with a student who has asked for a mentor. StandByMe has an incredible track record of success as we have seen God transform the lives of the students and the mentors alike! A unique aspect of SBM is that families of the children in SBM, benefit from all the resources of HCDBM Family Mentoring Ministry. We believe that when our families are strong, so are the kids!
We hold firmly to a 6 pillar framework that leads to successful mentoring:
- Case Management - Ongoing match support and training of Mentors
- Summer Camp - Christian camp opportunities for Mentees
- Summer Leadership Academy - A Summer program teaching leadership skills
- Enrichment - Life skill opportunities for matches
- Celebrations - Mentor and Mentee recognition and appreciation events
- Family Support - Strong families, strong kids! Families are eligible for HCDBM Family Mentoring Resources
