The Mentoring Partnership of New York

Established in 1992, The Mentoring Partnership of New York (MPNY) is an affiliate of MENTOR, Inc. MPNY helps individuals and groups from different sectors to become involved in mentoring opportunities for youth. The Mentoring Partnership of New York is not itself a mentoring program. It is a catalyst, linking individuals, organizations and communities to existing mentoring programs and the young people they serve.

As an Advocate and Resource, MPNY has the following six goals (positions):

1. Educate New Yorkers about the variety of mentoring opportunities available and the potential for their involvement.

2. Help individuals identify appropriate mentoring opportunities where they live, work, worship or spend their free time.

3. Help corporations, faith-based institutions, government agencies and other organizations find the appropriate mentoring partners.

4. Assist youth-serving organizations in establishing or strengthening quality mentoring programs through mentor, mentee and coordinator trainings.

5. Identify financial and in-kind resources to support mentoring efforts in New York City.
