MENTOR Vermont

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.

1 in 3 young people will grow up without a trusted mentor to turn to for support outside of their immediate family. MENTOR Vermont aims to close the mentoring gap and drive equity through quality mentoring relationships so every young person in Vermont has the supportive mentoring relationships they need to grow and thrive.

The four main focus areas in which we do this are: Increasing Sustainable Investment, Centering Quality, Enhancing Public Will, and Advancing the Mentoring Mindset.
