Connections Mentoring

Connections Mentoring is a non-profit organization based in New York City. With a team of seven employees, they are dedicated to fostering positive relationships between youth in the child welfare system and volunteer mentors. Connections Mentoring's mission is to provide lasting support and guidance to young people who may lack strong connections and role models in their lives. The organization's primary focus is on curating meaningful mentor-mentee relationships. They partner with agencies across New York City to identify children and young adults who could benefit from a supportive connection. Connections Mentoring carefully matches these youth with adult volunteers who serve as mentors, providing guidance, encouragement, and advocacy. What sets Connections Mentoring apart is their commitment to long-term support. Unlike many mentoring programs, Connections remains involved with the youth for a minimum of one year, even if they experience changes in their living arrangements or move out of the child welfare system.
