ABOUT US
MENTOR Minnesota is a state-wide nonprofit (501c3) organization committed to supporting mentorship and assisting youth-focused organizations and businesses in strengthening their programs or incorporating a mentoring approach into their current initiatives. We believe that relationship-driven efforts encompass individuals of all ages and identities, reaching everyone from Pre-K children to older adults.
To realize this vision, we offer training, resources, and consulting—primarily at no cost—to foster a community where everyone has the opportunity to connect with a mentor and emphasize relationship-centered programming.
OUR VISION
We envision a Minnesota where every young person is seen, heard, and empowered knowing they hold the strength and voice to shape their lives, families, schools, communities, and workplaces.
OUR MISSION
We build and strengthen meaningful, equitable, and inclusive developmental relationships for Minnesota’s youth by supporting and uplifting the people, programs, and systems that walk alongside them.

Tell me more about the Becoming a Better Mentor training:
-
Join MENTOR Minnesota each month to learn strategies on how to support young people, be in community, and leave feeling inspired, connected, and empowered.
-
No previous knowledge or homework is needed. We meet you where you're at!
-
Our last session was on "Providing Emotional Support and Empathy" and here's a snapshot of what participants took away:
-
"It is ok to say that you have nothing to say. Sometimes it's just enough for someone to know that you are there to listen."
-
"The solution is connection."
-
We hope you'll join us for a gathering rooted in connection, shared learning, and the belief that strong, caring relationships have the power to change lives!
