MENTOR Nebraska

Advocacy is an important part of the work that Midlands Mentoring Partnership (MMP) does. MMP was created to bring about community-wide, systemic change that would allow mentoring programs to serve more youth with high quality services. There are more than 200+ mentoring programs in Nebraska that are serving more than 15,000 youth, however, not nearly enough mentors to serve our state’s 80,000 school-age youth that live in poverty. MMP works on the national level, the state level, and the city level and advocates for issues that support our sector and vulnerable families. The organization is committed to quality mentoring and accountability. MMP works closely with mentoring agencies in the community and across Nebraska to ensure that systems are in place to create, monitor, support and evaluate mentor-mentee matches. And— are helping to expand the number of mentoring relationships for the youth that need it the most.
