Imagine a Rockford, where every person is seen, known, and valued.
At-risk youth no longer lead our streets destructively but are empowered and inspired, through Relational Mentoring.
Serving together, barriers begin to be broken down and new relationshipsbuilt - extending beyond things like age, race, culture, socioeconomicstatus, and belief systems.

Join our Tribe of Mentors grows into a community of life-on-liferelationships - together - bringing restoration to Rockford.


"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."

Life Decisions' is building a Tribe of Mentors who invest in the lives of overlooked and undervalued youth, ages 15-23, by equipping people and creating opportunities for Relational Mentoring.



Through serving together, barriers will be broken down (age, race, neighborhoods, past experiences, education, and belief systems), and new relationships formed - together - bringing restoration to Rockford!
