MCP as part
of the Council of the Southern Mountains is presently working in the southern counties of WV to match up responsible mantors and
young people who have a parent incarcerated,on parole,on probation or otherwise involved with the legal system.
There are
between 1.5 and 2 million young people with at least one incarerated parent, about 35,000 of those are in WV and an estimated
5000 plus of those are in the counties we serve. It is predicted that 70 percent will follow in their parents footsteps if
someone doesn't invest in their lives. Mentoring has been shown to make a difference.
If you live in any of the following WV counties:
- McDowell
- Mingo
- Logan Wyoming
- Raliegh
- Mercer
- Summer
- Monroe
And if you believe in mentoring
we would like to talk to you about becoming involved.

wants to share some of your time, talents, or hobbies with the next generation, Contact us. If you care about young people and their future, contact us: 304-862-3144 or email us
