MENTOR NORTH
To celebrate youth and support their families, Mentor North matches Duluth and Superior youth between the ages of 7 and 17 with carefully screened adult volunteers for mentoring within the community based on shared interests, personality, lived experiences, and goals.
Our program advocates provide individualized, wrap-around support to each mentor, youth and family. Our goal is to create a vibrant and inclusive mentorship community! Annually, Mentor North serves up to 200 youth (both matched and waiting to be matched) along with their families and our volunteer mentors.
