Mentor Kansas

MISSION

Mentor Kansas provides a network of support and resources, equipping Kansas programs to build thriving mentoring relationships.

VISION

Every Young Kansan develops into a successful, productive, engaged adult.

OUR STORY

Mentor Kansas is a champion for expanding quality youth mentoring relationships across the state. Founded by the passion and vision of Coach Bill Snyder and former Governor Kathleen Sebelius, Mentor Kansas has led initiatives that strengthened youth outcomes through mentoring. For 17 years, these initiatives provided resources to mentoring programs across the state through grant opportunities, connecting mentoring programs and promoting quality mentoring through evidence-based standards and tools for new and existing programs. We collaborate with other mentoring programs to ensure that all youth have the support they need through mentoring relationships to succeed.

Mentoring amplifies change, one relationship at a time. Seeing the world through each other's eyes, two hearts open, and two lives are changed forever. Join the mentoring movement.

Together, we can expand opportunities and transform perspectives. So let us raise our voices to amplify possibility, connections, explorations, joy, community, and change. Together, we can make the world a place of opportunity for all.
