Remembering Luke Boisi

During the Awards, we honor the vibrant life of Luke Boisi, who tragically passed away at the age of 21. Luke was the son of Geoff Boisi, founder of MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, and the brother of Zach Boisi, former Director of MENTOR New York.

 

Luke was personally impacted by mentorship and spent his last years serving others with AmeriCorps. To honor his life and legacy, we proudly present the Luke Boisi MENTOR of the Year Award to a mentor who, like Luke, embodies the spirit of carrying the torch forward.

Support the Movement

MENTOR NY offers no-cost services to mentoring programs, mentors, and the young minds they guide to ensure budgets don't limit benefits.

 

The MENTOR of the Year Awards raises essential funds for this cause—and you can amplify its impact by joining our Host Committee. Help us spread the word about mentoring. Together, we can make a meaningful difference to the lives of young New Yorkers.
