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.

We encourage each other; we bring one another up.

Principles (LIVE)

​

Leading by example

We strive to be an example for others to imitate.​

​

Inclusive

We all can learn from each other regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or religion.

​​

Virtuous circle

We do good, reap good.  Our goal is to sustainably empower youth instructors for teaching positive values, making it economically and mutually beneficial to teach and mentor youth.

​

Evolve continuously

A wise person changes his mind; a fool never does. 

Sport and Art activities evolve; techniques improve over time.  We evolve and learn together.
