The National Mentoring Project

Civic Champs partnered with MENTOR, the unifying champion for expanding the quality and quantity of mentoring relationships across the United States.

the goal

Bolster relationship supports for young people ages 16-24 who face barriers in gaining employment and access to supported pathways at work.

MENTOR worked directly with large-scale workforce development organizations and employers who hired opportunity youth to test out tools and trainings for replication.

what we did

Civic Champs developed an app for MENTOR to track mentoring interactions and activity.

This included meeting time, topics discussed, and meeting quality. Below are metrics of success for the pilot program Civic Champs app- the earliest version of Mentoring Works- helped support.
