Mentoring Connector

What Is this Service?

The Mentoring Connector is the only national database of mentoring programs. This is a free service for mentoring programs across the country to recruit more local volunteers and greatly increase visibility for their organizations. Anyone interested in becoming a mentor can search for mentoring opportunities by zip code, ages of youth served, and program type to find and contact programs that interest them. Each year, potential volunteers looking for mentoring opportunities do more than 80,000 searches in this system.

Programs meeting baseline quality standards as outlined in the Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring™ will be added to the publicly‐searchable referral database.
