Youth Mentorship in Alberta

Here's a great quote that I thought was worth sharing with you, "To be a mentor, you don't need superhuman qualities…Just human ones."

What do you think about that?

I came across that quote when exploring the resources available from the youth focused, "Alberta Mentoring Partnership" - a coalition of government ministries, government funded organizations and community agencies with the mandate to increase access to mentoring for the children and youth of Alberta.  

The Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) consists of community mentoring agencies, government and youth working together to raise the profile of mentoring in Alberta.  To achieve this goal, AMP partners are collaborating to establish and enhance mentoring programs in local communities.  AMP is helping build capacity by providing access to best practices and sound research supported by tools and resources that will help mentoring agencies start new programs or make existing programs even better.  Ultimately, AMP exists to help community mentoring programs meet the needs of the children and youth they serve.
