what we do

Everything we do is Relational Mentoring. We help youth to get back on track, stay out of trouble, and reach healthy adulthood. 

HOW we do IT

We do this by equipping people and creating opportunities for Relational Mentoring.

"This program offers support that many do not have from other people in their lives and it has the ability to change someone else's life in a very positive way because of it..."

TESTIMONIAL

"At Life Decisions, we value making our community a better place. I have seen this through at our community block party and there I seen that alot of people were so happy and thrilled to be there. It's alot of people who support and love what we do as a tribe, we more than these people who just work together, no, we are family! A family that wants to change Rockford by bringing restoration to this city and change the future of the youth because we as youth are the future so we must create a future that can inspire more youth to keep on inspiring other youth to change the future."​

DONATE TODAY

"At Life Decisions, I have a chance to insert my heart into what I do. I know what broken and desperate kids are feeling and thinking. So many kids don’t have a supportive, caring father-figure to help them, someone they can talk to, someone who understands them. That’s what I want to be for them; yes, like a father; only, not a father; but, a mentor; like, Jake is to me."
Jadarius - Founding Mentee
