With deep gratitude and a hopeful heart, we share that MENTOR Independence Region will be sunsetting its operations. While this chapter comes to a close, our commitment to young people and the power of mentoring remains steadfast.
Since our inception, we have worked to ensure that every young person has access to the caring support and guidance they deserve. Thanks to you—our partners, mentors, advocates, and champions—we have seen the transformational impact of mentorship firsthand.
Though MENTOR Independence Region will no longer be continuing its work, the movement to uplift and empower young people is far from over. We encourage you to continue investing in the future by supporting mentorship programs, becoming a mentor, and advocating for policies that create more opportunities for young people to thrive.
You can continue to access support from Mentoring Partnership of SWPA and MENTOR National websites. If you’re not in Pennsylvania, check out this list of MENTOR Affiliates across the country.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Your dedication has made a difference, and we trust that together, we will continue to build a world where all young people feel seen, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
With appreciation,
Abigail Ellis
Executive Director
