Visit the New Mentoring Forums Site!

The NMC recently launched the Mentoring Forums, a website where youth mentoring professionals from all over the United States, Canada, and the rest of the world can share innovative program practices and tips on the art of mentoring. This is a place to ask questions of your peers, to disseminate the wisdom gained in working with today’s young people, and to engage in the conversations that will help shape the future of the youth mentoring movement.

The Mentoring Forums are free to join. Mentoring and youth development professionals, researchers and evaluators, funding agencies, and even mentors themselves are all encouraged to join the conversation.

So sign up today and join the conversation!
