HSF Ambassadors of Mentoring
About HSF Ambassadors of Mentoring
With our support, the Mass Mentoring Partnership, the state affiliate of MENTOR, runs the Highland Street Corps Ambassadors of Mentoring program. Our ambassadors, AmeriCorps members, are placed at mentoring programs and youth-serving organizations statewide to help capacity-build in the following program areas: mentoring program development and support; mentor/mentee training; match support; and mentor recruitment/marketing.
Hosting programs benefit from dedicated members who receive intensive professional development trainings to specifically assist mentoring programs. Members receive training based on the Elements of Effective Practice in areas such as program development, mentor/mentee training, match support, and marketing and mentor recruitment, along with ongoing technical support. For many organizations, hosting an ambassador is a cost-effective way to serve more youth.
