Mentoring Partnership of Southwestern PA

September 18, 2005 Natalia

More than 1000 children are on waiting lists for mentors in Southwestern PA. In Allegheny County, more than 13,000 children already have mentors. Mentoring is one of the most significant ways you can help a child. Consider these facts:

  • Mentored young people are 46% less likely to get involved with drugs.

  • 59% improve their grades.

  • 86% went on to higher education.

    There are many different kinds of mentoring programs and the Mentoring Partnership Southwestern PA helps bring them all together to match mentors and mentees in just the right environment.

    You can become a member by filling out this application. Or check out these events, such as “Mentor Incentives: Keeping Them Involved” and “Building Successful In-House Mentor Meetings.”

    And then maybe you can take your mentee to some of the awesome places mentioned on iheartpgh! (But I’d hold off on the East End Brewing Company.)
