The Mentor Network, affiliated with the National Mentoring Partnership, is dedicated to increasing the number of mentors for children and adults throughout Rhode Island, supporting school-based and community-based mentor programs.

Origin of "Mentoring" "Mentoring" comes from mythology: Ulysses asked his friend Mentor to counsel his son Telemachus. Being a mentor is about communicating in a meaningful way. It's about being yourself and sharing your experience and your perspective on life. As a mentor, you'll form a one-to-one relationship with a student or adult learner who needs your support and attention. You'll be a positive role model and a trusted friend. And, as with any friendship, you'll get a lot out of it too.
