I would like to know if there is a mentoring program in my area for my 19 year old, also if there is  a special needs girl scout troop in my area for my 8 year old.

Hi,
Have you tried The Big Brothers and Big Sisters organizations. Felicia i see your in Ga. so I would try this site.http://www.bbbsnwgm.org/home.htm

There also are a lot of churches that have mentoring programs, so I would check that out in your area.
Stacy as your child in 19, maybe he/she could BE a mentore to a younger child. I'm sure they have some special qualities or gifts they could offer some young child. Volunteering at local hospitals is also something you could look at.

Stacy,

You might go online to the Girl Scouts of America website and do a search on programs in your area. Also, check with your school counselor about programs for your 19 year old. Hopefully, they will have resources for you to check out. Good luck!
