What does an Ambassador of Mentoring do?
As an Ambassador of Mentoring, you’ll have the chance to serve a Massachusetts youth mentoring program that is part of the Mass Mentoring Partnership network.
Ambassadors will complete 1,700 hours of service (approximately one year) on a clearly defined project. The mentoring programs will find ways to best leverage your skills while at the same time meeting organizational needs. Examples of projects include creating training materials, developing practices for supporting mentoring relationships, or finding ways to recruit new mentors.
