Mentor of the Year Award

Is there a VErmont mentor of the year award? If not, can we create them? Would it make sense to have regional mentors of the year also?

The author of No Such Thing as a Bad Kid asked a room filled with more than 200 mentors from across New England Friday, if, in all their experience, they met a troubled child who could say they had an adult who believed in them.

Not a single hand went up.

Welcome to Vermont Mentoring Partnership Network



Welcome to our interactive community for mentoring in Vermont!

These are the membership guidelines for our network:

1. Most members are affiliated with a mentoring program within the state; they are program & recruiting professionals, advocates and mentors. Those seeking to become involved in the mentoring community are encouraged to sign-up and connect with an organization/program in your area.

2. Members agree not to discuss/post confidential or identifying information of a mentee. Releases are obtained for program sponsored media in which mentees participate.

3. Blogs: Reach out and share mentoring related news/stories around Vermont and around the world.

4. Events: Activities or program events for mentoring matches; fundraising & recruiting events, trainings and other related professional development opportunities.

5. Groups: Connect with a specific program or discussion group.

6. Report problems by sending a private message to the VMP Webmaster or click "report an issue" at the bottom of the page.

7. Visit the Member Support Forum to learn more about using VMP; including member account privacy and moderation.
