How We Work

The Mentoring Partnership of Long Island's mission is to enable every child on Long Island with need to be paired with a caring adult mentor in a quality, structured mentoring program. In furtherance of that mission:

We help start mentoring programs -

Our technical assistance in design and implementation helps insure successful and quality mentoring programs.

We assist in recruiting and training mentoring volunteers -

Our public communication efforts result in significant numbers of volunteers and our training classes, not only teach and reinforce the elements of effective practice, but also substantially improve volunteer retention.

We provide technical assistance to ongoing mentoring programs -

We bring our expertise into programs and diagnose program strengths and weaknesses in order to improve mentor / mentee relationships.

We increase public awareness -

Our efforts across Long Island are seen in public service announcements, community awareness campaigns, numerous speaking engagements and conferences.
