Help me reach my personal goal of $10,000 to train the number of mentors needed this school year.
I joined Virginia Mentoring Partnership 5 years ago because I believe in our mission to ensure that every child in Virginia who needs a mentor has one. A caring, committed adult in a childs' life is often what it takes to stay in school, avoid crime and teenage pregnacy, cope with life's challenges, and find their personal path to success. The work of a mentor is rewarding, but not easy. A mentor is a unique role. They aren't teachers, parents or social workers. VMP provides the training and on-going support needed to help mentors prepare for and navigate their role to support lasting, positive relationships that change lives forever.
I am so proud to serve as the Chair of the Board. I am passionate about the work we do. Your gift helps us support training for the number of mentors needed to meet the demand this school year.
