From October 15 to October 22, all donations made through the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota (MPM) will go to mentoring programs that commit to striving for the highest level of quality best practices, in turn ensuring more positive outcomes for youth. This campaign, called “Strive for Five: Give Mentoring a Hand,” will also be matched dollar for dollar by M.A. Mortenson and IWCO Direct with a generous contribution of up to $12,500 to support MPM’s quality initiative.
As a bonus, for every $5 individuals donate during the campaign, they will be entered to win a baseball hand-signed by Twins All-Star catcher and mentoring advocate Joe Mauer.
“We’re not asking for much,” said MPM Associate Director Mai-Anh Kapanke. “But if everyone donates just $5, together we can build a tremendous pool of support for mentoring programs that are committed to building the quality of their mentoring practices. Ultimately, that can provide better and safer experiences for the kids and volunteers in our communities.”
The results of this campaign will be announced at the 11th Annual Minnesota Mentoring Conference on October 25, when MPM will launch its Quality Mentoring Assessment Path (QMAP). The QMAP is the nation’s first interactive quality assessment for mentoring and is based on the latest research and best practices in the field of mentoring.
Please consider giving just $5, then ask your friends to do the same. Donate at www.mpmn.org.
