Summer Education & Workforce Development Webinar Series
Join MENTOR this summer as we explore the critical role of mentoring and relationship-centered approaches to supporting youth within schools and the workforce. As we continue to navigate a new reality in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the escalated need to confront racial injustices perpetuated by centuries of systemic oppression, it will be more important than ever to ensure youth are supported where they work and learn. These webinars will explore various ways that educators and companies are responding, innovating, and working in partnership with youth to build a better present and future. All webinars are free and attendees are welcome to participate in some or all of these conversations.
