Mentor North

During March, Mentor North is excited to uplift mentoring as a whole -- particularly the role it plays in the Twin Ports -- and to expand our family of volunteer mentors! Please join us for the official launch of March into Mentoring this Tuesday, March 4th, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Damiano Center conference room (followed by snacks and conversation). Hear from guest speakers who bring unique and complementary perspectives on the power of mentorship—whether as mentees, mentors, or those who have supported mentoring in other ways. We are especially excited to feature a mentee alum from our #MentorSuperior program, his former mentor, Amanda Lindquist, and one of his former teachers, each sharing their experiences and the lasting impact of mentorship. This event is free and open to the public. Hope to see you there! #MarchIntoMentoring2025 #PressConference #MentoringMatters
