Promoting Child Mentorship Programs

Child mentorship programs are activities that prove to be beneficial not only for children but also for the adults who mentor them. The program aims for both to learn from one another in terms of life skills, values and character development. A mentorship program pairs adult mentors with young people in order to offer support, advice, friendship, reinforcement and lead through constructive examples in order to help young people achieve their full potential, succeed in life and contribute to the betterment of society. Child mentorship programs are in place nationwide and locally, in communities all over the world.  Below are examples of established mentorship programs in the United States:

MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership-is a federally funded mentorship support program for mentoring partnerships throughout the United States. The program helps build much-needed infrastructure at the state level to help mentorship centrals. It also leverages leadership and knowledge through the National Mentoring Institute.

America’s Promise, The Alliance for Youth-Founded in 1997 with General Colin Powell as Chairman and chaired today by Alma Powell, America’s Promise Alliance is a cross-sector partnership of more than 300 corporations, nonprofits, faith-based organizations and advocacy groups that are passionate about improving lives and changing outcomes for children. Their work aims to raise awareness, encouraging action and engaging in advocacy to provide children the key supports called the Five Promises: Caring adults, Safe Places, A Healthy Start, An Effective Education and Opportunities to Help Others.

Big Brothers and Sisters in America-Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. They have dominated in one-to-one youth service for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people.

Marketing and promotion of these mentorship programs present challenges given limited funds and busy lives of a community. Given this situation, the use of small print materials can be simple but effective means to spread awareness. Print materials today can easily be printed using online printing services. Some online printers such as Uprinting for example, can also be found in web resources such as Wikipedia and Yelp.
