Welcome to Bay Area Mentoring!
Bay Area Mentoring promotes youth mentoring by connecting programs and community members throughout Northern California.
Pass It On... Become a Mentor!
What is a mentor? A mentor literally means "a wise and trusted friend." But to a youth, it can mean much, much more. Mentoring is about people of different ages and backgrounds sharing their life experiences and learning from each other. If you think about it, we've all had a mentor: someone who took the time to explain how things worked, showed us the ropes, or gave us the confidence we needed.
