Our Impact
Mentor A Mentor employs sustainable strategies, including dignified compensation and leadership development, to support sports, art, and STEM instructors who mentor vulnerable youth in Latin America. Through our approach, youth gain access to high-quality activities and forge meaningful relationships with supportive adults, fostering the cultivation of positive values in their lives.
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.
