Benefits for Mentoring
A mentor is a caring, responsible adult who devotes time to a young person. Although mentors can fill any number of different roles, all mentors have the same goal in common: to help young people achieve their potential and discover their strengths.
A mentor may help a young person:
- Help on a project for school;Â
- Plan for college or other institution of higher learning;
- Set career goals and start taking steps to realize them;Â
- Make healthy choices about day-to-day life, from food to exercise and beyond;
- Think through a problem at home or school;
- Assist with every day life issues that arise.

Our Mentoring Program
Mentoring is the core foundation for which Mentoring and Partnership for Youth Development (MPYD) was established. MPYD has a goal through its mentoring program to provide a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the student, while pushing for academic success.
MPYD recruits potential mentors from the local community to provide leadership, friendship, reinforcement, support, and guidance to the students.
