Project Amp is a brief, youth-driven, strengths-based, and non-punitive mentorship approach. It is designed to help youth explore interests, develop goals, and navigate through pressures and risks that might impact their well-being. Youth are matched with trained young adult peer mentors who have some experience of recovery and resiliency specific to substance use, mental health, trauma, or related challenges.

For youth, time spent with a Project Amp mentor is all about you. It is a safe, supportive, and confidential space to explore what is working for you and what you might want to work on changing.

Project Amp will look different at each school, health care setting, or community organization. It can be implemented with or without a risk-oriented screening tool, made available to youth in different ways, and it might include different numbers of sessions. Project Amp can also be implemented in person or remotely through telephone or video conferencing.
