What We Do
Our Mission:
To empower sports and arts instructors transmitting positive values to youth.
Our Vision:
A thriving community where mentees become mentors who do good and reap good.
Sharpen the Saw
Teaching in youth is like carving in stone.
​
Mentor a Mentor offers tools which help instructors 'carve' better by having the resources and confidence they need.
By learning you will teach, by teaching you will learn.
​
Mentoring
Those who play the game do not see as clearly as those who watch.
​
Instructors teach students, that is their game. They can use someone watching from a different angle to clearly see what is going on and how to improve.
​
Do Good, Reap Good
Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
All youth benefit from having a mentor in their lives. The more risk factors a young person has, the less likely he or she is to have a naturally occurring mentor.* Our instructors give back and sustainably serve as a mentor to youth at risk in their communities.
