Day, will be held on the sand in Manhattan Beach on Saturday, September 18, from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

This event unites youth from diverse demographics from Compton, Watts, Hawthorne, Gardena, San Pedro, and Long Beach. Though it’s a short day, mentors have made many incredible connections and emotional ties that can last a lifetime.

Right now we are in need of 100 more caring adult mentors to register. The outpouring of youth groups that want their children to attend this year is overwhelming. We believe that this event can become one of the steps in the healing process to overcome the isolation and anxiety of COVID.

Please join us to give your time and love to a child in need. All it takes is healthy human

connection to bring the Hope and Trust children need to feel important and inspired.

The “Adopt A Child for One Day” community event is designed to give underserved children
a memorable day filled with one-on-one attention and care.

Adult mentors, who also bring their own children or loved ones, should be prepared to be in the water with their mentee, ride boogie boards, get their faces painted, eat pizza, and experience the funniest two-legged mentor/mentee race ever seen.

Although there may be some uncertainty at the start of the day and maybe even feelings of mistrust and anxiety being matched with someone you have never met before, within 15 minutes the mentor and mentee bond. This starts shaping a beautiful day filled with purpose, energetic conversations, patience, love, laughter. healthy interaction and lots of smiling faces.

The mentees bring as much happiness to the adults and the mentors give to the at-risk youth. It’s truly an amazing day…and as many youths say, “the Best Day Of My Life.”
