Advocacy
MENTOR’s advocacy work focuses on expanding opportunities for all young people by advancing policies, funding, and civic engagement that strengthen youth mentoring nationwide.
We empower all advocates to take meaningful action that supports quality mentoring programs and helps close the mentoring gap. Through education, training, and coordinated grassroots efforts, MENTOR works at the federal, state, and local levels to elevate mentoring as a critical solution for youth development, belonging, and opportunity.
