Governor’s Mentoring Initiative
 
Overview

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!
 
How do I become a part of the Initiative?
Arizona state employees can become a part of the initiative by filling out the Commitment to Mentor form and submitting it to the Governor's Office.

How do I recognize an outstanding mentor?
Consider nominating that person or group of people for a Governor's Volunteer Service Award.
