Welcome to Mentoring in Pueblo, CO!

Mentoring is a trusting relationship where a supportive individual provides support, guidance, and encouragement to a youth. Mentors are committed to developing a relationship with the mentee(s) that helps the mentee(s) reach their potential and transition successfully into adulthood.

Although mentors can fill any number of different roles, all mentors have the same goal in common: to help young people achieve their potential and discover their strengths.

By sharing fun activities and exposing a youth to new experiences, a mentor encourages positive choices, promotes high self-esteem, supports academic achievement, and introduces the young person to new ideas.

Why Mentoring Matters

Mentoring helps youth, young adults and families succeed in school, work and life. Mentoring relationships that last for more than a year show higher outcomes for youth.

Youth who have had mentors set higher educational goals and are more likely to attend college than youth without mentors.

95% of youth who had a formal mentoring relationship said their mentoring experience was “helpful” and 86% of youth with a mentor said they were interested in becoming a mentor.
