Ambassadors of Mentoring
The Highland Street Corps Ambassadors are AmeriCorps members who are placed at mentoring programs and youth-serving organizations statewide to help strengthen programs in the areas of match support, program development, marketing strategic planning and mentor/mentee recruitment, mentor/mentee or parent training and curriculum development, and program development and start-up. Our 2011-12 Corps served 29,320 hours in serving 16 host sites, and recruited 139 new mentors!
"We're proud to support the Ambassadors of Mentoring program and view it as a win-win scenario," says Executive Director Blake Jordan of the Highland Street Foundation. "In addition to providing well-trained, motivated individuals to maximize the quality, quantity, and impact of mentoring relationships, we are also creating a new talent pipeline of young leaders, who will effect change in their communities well beyond their year of service."
