National Mentoring Partnership

Boston, Massachusetts

Grants

2012 (3 years)
$400,000

The National Mentoring Partnership is the nation’s leading supporter of high-quality mentoring. It will use this grant to establish a Chicago-based Illinois Mentoring Partnership, to expand youth mentoring in Illinois and pilot test a mentoring program that will create mentoring opportunities for young people to interview and digitally document lives of veterans as part of the Veterans History Project, a national effort created by Congress. The project will help ensure a “pipeline” of mentors trained in the use of digital media for learning at the institutions that comprise the Chicago Hive learning network and the YOUmedia library teen space.
