Why Mentor?

1 in 3 Young People Will Grow Up Without a Mentor

Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter.


Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on young people in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations.


Ultimately, mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunity.


Yet one in three young people will grow up without this critical asset.
