MANA de San Diego is dedicated to creating a program that uplifts all of our youth, in their educational endeavors and beyond. The goal of MANA de San Diego’s Hermantias Youth Mentoring Program is to connect Latinx youth in our community to a trusted mentor, to guide and nurture their natural talent and brilliance. The resources listed below can offer additional support to our youth members.

As always, if you or someone you know is facing a problem you cannot fix on your own, please reach out to a trusted adult like a school counselor, mentor, MANA staff member, doctor, or parent. Even if they don’t have all the answers, talk to someone who can help you connect to the support you need!

If you cannot find the resource you are looking for here, please try 211 San Diego for additional guidance!
