MENTOR is the nation’s leading advocate and expert resource for youth mentoring, delivering research, policy recommendations, advocacy, and practical performance tools that facilitate expansion of mentoring initiatives. MENTOR believes that, with the help and guidance of an adult mentor, each child and youth can unlock his or her potential.
For nearly two decades, MENTOR has worked to expand the world of quality youth mentoring. In cooperation with a strong national network of mentoring partnerships throughout the country and with more than 4,100 mentoring programs nationwide, MENTOR helps to connect young Americans who want and need caring adults in their lives with the power of mentoring.
We seek to leverage resources and provide the tools that local mentoring programs need to operate high-quality mentoring, build greater awareness of the need for mentors, and raise the profile of mentoring among corporate leaders, foundation executives, policymakers, and researchers. As such, the ultimate beneficiaries of our work are the millions of young people who are currently benefiting from the guidance of caring adult mentors.
Help us close the gap and become a mentor to a child or youth in your local community!
