Corporations and Government Agencies

Corporations and government agencies can play a valuable role in preparing Maryland's future workforce by offering exposure to possible career paths and positive life skills. When businesses and their employees connect personally with the community through mentoring, the benefits also impact the economic and social viability of the state. Here are just a few ways corporations can get involved:

• School Based Mentoring: Employees visit mentees at school for a minimum of four hours per month.

• Workplace Mentoring: Students visit the workplace for a minimum of four hours per month. Learn professional skills and work one-on-one with an employee mentor.

The concept of mentoring is a simple one, but mobilizing communities and recruiting mentors takes a continuous flow of creative energy and commitment. Contact MMP for information, referrals and assistance in starting a program, getting connected to an existing one, hosting special youth activities, technical support on sustaining relationships or just learning more about how mentoring works. For more information on getting your company involved in mentoring contact Mike Stone, Manager of Corporate Partnerships & Training mikes@marylandmentors.org.
