MENTOR aims to drive equity and close the mentoring gap through quality mentoring relationships for young people. The Mentoring Connector is the only national database of mentoring programs. The Mentoring Connector is a free service that helps quality youth mentoring programs across the country recruit more local volunteers while greatly increasing visibility for their organizations. Anyone interested in becoming a mentor can search for mentoring opportunities by zip code, ages of youth served, and program type to find and contact programs that interest them. Each year, potential volunteers looking for mentoring opportunities do more than 80,000 searches in this system. Our national partners at the NBA, the White House's My Brother's Keeper initiative, and others use this database on their websites to recruit volunteer mentors.
