SUMMARY:Collaborative Mentoring Webinar Series: Successful Mentoring Program Expansion - Breaking the Mold
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar here. \nThis workshop focuses on strategies for program expansion as we deal with repercussions of the pandemic.

SUMMARY:Collaborative Mentoring Webinar Series: Leveraging Assets to Address Resource Gaps in Rural Mentoring
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar here. \n18% of children (13.4 million) live in rural communities within the US\, while only 10% of US mentoring programs are in those same communities. Large geographic service areas\, scarce resources\, and limited opportunities all contribute to the challenges of building and maintaining mentoring infrastructure. We’ve booked a panel of professionals who have leveraged the assets of their community to build thriving rural mentoring programs. Learn the creative strategies they’ve implemented and the innovative partnerships they’ve built that you can model within your own organization. \nRegister for this webinar here.

SUMMARY:Who Mentored You? Research Study
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar here. \nWho Mentored You? — a new research study by MENTOR — examines the prevalence of mentors in the lives of Americans growing up and takes a fresh look at the “mentoring gap” of 1-in-3 young people growing up without a mentor to see if we have made progress in increasing mentoring relationships over the last decade. The study offers a fresh multigenerational look at the mentoring experiences of all Americans\, from the Baby Boomer Generation to today’s Gen Z young adults. The full report offers an insightful look into who in our society is finding mentoring relationships and where\, offering special insights into the meaningful actions of mentors and the impact adults feel that mentoring in the formative years has had on their lives. Most importantly\, the findings also support an urgent call to action to meet the rising mentoring needs to today’s young people. \nWho Mentored You? will be released in conjunction with the National Mentoring Summit on January 26-27\, 2023. This webinar features study authors Mike Garringer (MENTOR) and Chelsea Benning (Olympic Research and Strategy) discussing the study’s methodology and findings\, with an emphasis on five core themes and meaningful steps the mentoring field can take to make use of these results. If you are interested in the growth of the mentoring movement\, a generational understanding of mentoring access and impact\, and the needs of young people for more mentoring in this moment\, please join us for an hour of learning and discussion about this new study. \nRegister for this webinar here.

SUMMARY:December Community Coffee Hour: Protecting Children from Racism in Schools
DESCRIPTION:Register Here.  \nGrab your coffee or tea\, and join your mentoring program peers and MENTOR Virginia on Wednesday\, December 14th from 9:00 – 10:00 am for Community Coffee Hour. We’ll be joined by Shariful Khan of Public Justice for a discussion on protecting children from racism in schools. \nShariful will seek to answer questions including:\n–What does racial harassment/discrimination for the purposes of a Title VI violation look like?\n–What should you do if a student encounters racial harassment or discriminatory discipline in school?\n–What can mentors/parents do to support their child in those circumstances? \nMENTOR Virginia will virtually host Community Coffee Hour every 2nd Wednesday of the month with mentoring program staff to create space for peer-to-peer learning and resource sharing\, and to address issues you and your organization might be facing during the pandemic and beyond. We hope to see you at an upcoming Community Coffee Hour. \nRegister Here. \nMeet Our Guest Speaker:\nShariful Khan is a Skadden Fellow with the Students’ Civil Rights Project. In addition to litigating Title IX and VI cases with the SCRP team\, Shariful’s fellowship focuses on drawing out the link and overlap between racial harassment and discriminatory discipline in academic environments. \nAs a law student\, Shariful was heavily involved in the Veterans’ Legal Services Clinic. In addition to aiding individual veterans in their administrative discharge upgrade and disability benefit hearings\, he also represented a class of over a thousand U.S. veterans with less-than-Honorable discharges suing the Air Force for disability discrimination. \nShariful is the co-founder of “Access to Law School\,” now a clinical offering at Yale\, which helps low-income adults from New Haven apply for and get into law school. Before joining Public Justice\, Shariful worked at various civil rights and consumer protection organizations\, including the New York Legal Assistance Group’s Special Litigation Unit\, the Department of Justice\, and Gupta Wessler. \nShariful received his B.A. from The City College of New York and his J.D. from Yale Law School. After his fellowship\, he will clerk for Judge Robert E. Bacharach of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the Southern District of New York.
