Youth and his Mentor are 'Brothers for Life’ In the latest podcast from the Family and Youth Services Bureau’s National Clearinghouse on Families and Youth (NCFY), a young boy and his mentor talk about how their friendship has enhanced both their lives. The episode highlights FYSB’s Mentoring Children of Prisoners Program, which is on track to pair 100,000 children of prisoners nationwide with mentors by the end of September. Visit NCFY’s podcast page for more episodes featuring the voices of young people, and stay tuned for the next podcast, which will look at how one FYSB grantee works with youth over the summer.
