ForeverHBCU: Expanding the World of Quality Mentoring
"ForeverHBCU Joins State Mentoring
Partnerships"
State Mentoring Partnerships
The backbone of mentoring's infrastructure is a growing network
of state Mentoring Partnerships that MENTOR has helped to build and
support. State Mentoring Partnerships serve a unique role as a clearinghouse
for information and resources, providing the critical link between
MENTOR's national efforts and the local organizations that foster
quality mentoring relationships. Each of these state Mentoring Partnerships
works with a wide range of programs within their state to:
Increase the number of young people with mentors in the state;
Increase
resources in the state dedicated to mentoring;
Promote quality standards for mentoring programs;
Expand mentoring programming and opportunities tailored to the needs
and circumstances of young people.
By focusing on problem-solving, state Mentoring Partnerships have
developed solid, field-tested solutions to some of the mentoring movement's
greatest challenges.
