MENTORING INSTITUTE

Over the past decade, the concept of mentoring has gained national appeal as a method of helping youth navigate complex social issues and become productive adults. Friends for Youth's Mentoring Institute was developed in 1998 as a response to the growing number of programs beginning across the nation and the need for standardized Recommended Best Practices in mentoring our youth. We provide education on Recommended Best Practices in the mentoring field based on over 29 years of successful programming.

The Mentoring Institute supports youth by:

• Providing products, trainings, and consultations to programs who want to create a mentoring program or would like to improve their current services;
  

• Protecting the safety and well-being of youth by promoting Recommended Best Practices and successful mentoring models; and
  

• Furthering the field of mentoring through research and information dissemination, sponsoring an annual conference, supporting local coalition (BayAreaMentoring) efforts to promote  mentoring to the general community, and coordinating local National Mentoring Month activities, and conducting trainings within the community.
