Our Mission: Children Uniting Nations (CUN) is a non- profit organization dedicated to providing quality mentoring relationships for at-risk and foster youth. CUN strives to recruit and train community volunteers to help build self-esteem, life skills and improve educational outcomes for youth in our at-risk communities. CUN brings to the table private/public community collaborative partnerships designed by highly regarded experts in the mentoring and foster care communities. Children Uniting Nations aims to bring our global communities together to come to the aid of our children most in need.
What We Do: CUN/mPLAY seeks to create and support quality-mentoring relationships for foster care youth. This is accomplished by reducing barriers between volunteer mentors and foster youth by creating systematic mechanisms that allow easier and safer access to serving youth in out-of-home care. Together with the Los Angeles DCFS (Department of Children & Family Services), CUN/mPLAY seeks academic and relationship-based mentors who have a desire to make a difference in the life of a child and the community at large. The effects of mentoring have been studied to show that youth that have a mentor are far more likely to finish high school/college, maintain gainful employment and become positive productive members of society.
The CUN/mPLAY program foster youth currently reside in foster homes and residential treatment facilities through out Los Angeles County.
