MENTOR Washington

Bellevue, Washington, 98007 United States

Mission Statement

MENTOR Washington promotes, supports, and expands quality mentoring that fosters positive youth development, academic success, and job and career readiness.

About This Cause

Mentoring helps kids stay in school, meet academic goals, and choose positive behaviors and paths but only 14% of the more than 240,000 children most in need of a mentor in our state have access to one today. Since 1999 MENTOR Washington's (MW) mission has been to promote, expand and support quality mentoring that fosters positive youth development, academic success, and job and career readiness. Local community organizations know best how to serve their youth, but most have lean budgets and small staffs. That’s where MW comes in. We provide support to more than 100 mentoring organizations across the state in key areas including, training and technical assistance, public awareness, resource development, quality improvement, mentor recruitment and advocacy. Support in these areas allows the direct-service mentoring programs to concentrate their resources directly on services for the youth the serve, expand their programs to more youth and focus on quality.
