VIP Criteria

How are children referred to VIP:

Referrals are made from community agencies, juvenile court, school personnel, churches, police and parents/ guardians. Some youth are referred to VIP Mentoring not because they have broken a law, but because they are having difficulty adjusting to a major change in their lives, e.g., loss of family member, or are having social difficulties in school or in your neighborhood.

If you are aware of a youth 7- 14 years old who lives in Detroit or Wayne County and could benefit from VIP Mentoring services have his or her parent/ guardian call our office at (313) 964-1110 for more information.
