WELCOME!
On behalf
of our Youth, Mentors, Parents, and Executive Board, thank you
for visiting TheMentorshipProgram.com .
This
year is an exciting one for all of us at the Buffalo/Niagara Mentorship
Program, Inc. We have been working to make improvements that will
better the organization as well as our community.
We
have seen the importance of working together with our youth to
bring about positive change. Now more than ever, we must educate,
mobilize, and prepare our young people for the economic realities
they face.
Our motto is "Educating, Inspiring and Guiding
Future Leaders". We are committed to working
with our politicians, religious leaders, grassroots organizations,
unions, corporations, small businesses, and parents to help create
tomorrow's leaders today.
Since
2002, the Buffalo/Niagara Mentorship Program has been serving
the needs of youth in Erie and Niagara Counties, including the
cities of Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
The
program was incorporated in 2005, and received its 501(3)c status
in July, 2006. Over 100 students have benefited from this unique
and growing program, which addresses each student’s needs
individually and partners them with an appropriate role model.
Our
first goal is to assure that every student who wants to go to
college, will have the opportunity to do so. To date, over 80%
of our pupils have taken advantage of our academic and application
assistance to achieve the goal of higher education.
For
those who choose the vocational route, we are there to assist
them in getting into apprenticeship programs with trade unions
and companies in the Western New York area, where they will have
the opportunity to develop the skills and abilities necessary
to earn a living wage in today’s society.
We also feature our Parent and Guardian
Advocacy Program. This program helps us to better understand
the overall needs of each student, and gives parents and guardians
the chance to realize the importance of their participation in
the future success of their children.
“Thank
you" to all of our past and present sponsors,
who continue to make the Mentorship Program a success. This is
a worthy goal, and a rewarding one. Our youth really are our future
– let’s make sure they have a bright one.
