Hello, and Welcome to Mentor North! We're Happy You're Here.
Creating the change we want to see in our community through youth mentoring to build brighter, more equitable and inclusive community across the Twin Ports.
“I appreciate having a mentor in my daughter's life. My daughter's mentor is her rock and is such a wonderful support for her when I'm not there. I greatly appreciate all that this program has been able to offer my family.”
Youth mentoring makes a difference. Youth gain more life skills, develop new interests, and engage more in their communities when they have a mentor.
Youth need positive adult mentors in their lives. By being a consistent adult presence in a young person’s life, mentors can offer advice, share life experiences, and help a young person navigate challenges.
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.
Here at Mentor North, we celebrate youth and support their families through one-on-one mentorship and community engagement. We believe in the dignity of all people. We celebrate youth and families’ individual stories and welcome mentors from a variety of identities and backgrounds.
Our organization and programs are growing and your support is critical to our mission of supporting youth and their families. We have many youth waiting for a mentor and we are actively working to make sure they don't go without one.
With your partnership, we will:
1. Increase mentor recruitment efforts to help us match the 59 youth waiting for mentors right now.
2. Enhance our training offerings to build each mentor’s confidence in all aspects of mentoring.
3. Help us continue removing barriers for youth, mentors and families with disabilities.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Mentor North has launched a recurring monthly giving program to build resilience in our funding to ensure that, in turn, our work building resilience in youth, families and our community has secure ongoing support. We hope you will consider making your donation a recurring one - think of it as your monthly subscription to making the change you want to see for our next generation!
Mentor North was established in 2019 as a one-on-one, community-based mentoring organization. Mentor North is committed to providing high quality mentoring opportunities to youth and families in the Twin Ports. Mentor North has two community-based mentoring programs: Mentor Duluth, out of Duluth, MN, and Mentor Superior, out of Superior, WI. Both programs intersect and engage with their local communities to provide meaningful mentoring experiences for youth, families and volunteer mentors.
Mentor North continually strives to advance equity and diversity within ourselves and our community. We engage in anti-oppressive practices that work towards eliminating prejudice, racism, and discrimination of marginalized groups. We stand in support for the rights of LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Together, we are creating a vibrant and inclusive mentorship community.
