Our Story

1 in 3 young people will grow up without a mentor.

Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter. Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on young people in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations. Ultimately, mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunity. Yet one in three young people will grow up without this critical asset.

The vision of Mentor Kansas is that every young person has access to the positive and supportive relationships they need to grow and develop into thriving, productive and engaged adults.

The mission of Mentor Kansas is to promote safe, inclusive, and effective youth mentoring practices and to encourage and inspire more Kansans to become mentors by fueling the quality and quantity of mentoring relationships.
