Potential is equally distributed; opportunity is not. We work to drive equity and close the mentoring gap by fostering quality mentoring relationships wherever young people live, learn, work, and play.
The Mentoring Gap

One in three young people in New York will grow up without a mentor.
Make a Difference
We believe in creating a state where young people have caring adult mentors who really see them. Who listen. Who validate. And who help them tap into their greatest potential.
Over 500,000 young people in New York need or want a mentor. Help us close that gap — join the mentoring movement today.
