This year, Mass Mentoring Partnership has been given the opportunity to have FIVE runners participate in the Boston Marathon, and fundraise on behalf of the organization. We are thankful to our friends at ALKU for their continued support, and to their three team members who will run on behalf of MMP on April 15th.

JOIN US on March 14th, 2024 from 6-9pm at EMPIRE (1 Marina Park Drive, Boston MA 02210) for a evening of drinks, apps, and a silent auction!

At MMP, our mission is to ensure that all young people in MA have the mentoring relationships they need to develop into thriving, engaged adults, resulting in vibrant communities.

Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them and assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, making them feel like they matter. For this reason, Mass Mentoring Partnership’s (MMP) mission is to ensure that all young people in Massachusetts have the mentoring relationships they need to develop into thriving, engaged adults, resulting in vibrant communities. Mass Mentoring Partnership is the only state-wide training, research, and advocacy organization for Massachusetts mentoring and youth-serving organizations, committed to assuring that every young person in the state has access to caring and committed adults.

In MMP’s unique role as an intermediary organization, we provide the critical link between national evidence-based research and local programs that promote the quality and quantity of mentoring relationships. As a force multiplier, MMP invests in the support young people need by providing the tools adults require in order to truly show up for youth in a caring and consistent way by bringing research to practice and theory to action.

We provide tools, research, training, and best practices needed to help increase the capacity and quality of mentoring programs and youth-serving organizations across the state.
