The Governor’s Mentoring Initiative was created by Executive Order in 2004. The goal of the initiative is to encourage state employees and other caring adults to become mentors to school-age youth in their communities
Why mentoring?
Young people in our state are in need of positive adult support in their lives. Volunteers in our communities can play a vital role encouraging Arizona’s youth to build a better Arizona. Currently less than 2% of Arizona’s one million school aged children are involved in a mentoring relationship. Becoming a mentor is fun and rewarding!
