Mentorship occurs when an adult provides support to a youth in an area of need. Mentorship provides powerful benefits to the mentee including improved high school graduation rates, reduced likelihood of dropping out of school, improved school attendance, higher college enrollment rates, improved behavior in and out of school, improved interpersonal relationships, and reduced likelihood of using drugs and alcohol. There are also significant benefits to the mentor including increased self-esteem, enhanced social networks, and improved patience and supervisory skills.
Mentoring provides powerful benefits to young people across Ohio, and there is a critical need for more volunteers to become mentors to support youth.
This initiative is for volunteer opportunities that include mentoring, tutoring, or other youth engagement. Does your organization engage youth? Learn how to post your opportunities here. Find more resources on mentoring.
