What if we all decided to turn up our impact?  
How would we strengthen our communities?  
How would we change the world? 

Change multiplies each time someone is inspired by greater possibilities. It starts with someone like you committing to one act of support, which motivates someone else to advocate for progress. And then it builds, from one connection to the next, until entire communities are moved to action. That’s the power of mentoring — both mentor and mentee grow together, seeing the world through each other’s eyes. 

MENTOR is committed to equipping young people with mentoring relationships and growth opportunities everywhere they live, learn, work, and play. By providing tools and resources to further engage communities and actualize change, we are building a movement powered by possibilities. 

Mentoring amplifies change, one relationship at a time.
