The National Mentoring Resource Center offers a free online library of research, toolkits, and training materials for mentoring programs. The collection includes resources for mentoring youth with mental health challenges, substance abuse issues, and disabilities. Programs can find best practices for working with Native youth, incarcerated youth, and other specific populations.
The library has webinars on school-based mentoring and faith-based approaches. Resources include program management guides, mentor training materials, and research reviews. All materials are designed to help organizations start or improve youth mentoring programs.
The center also connects people who want to find mentors or become mentors themselves. These evidence-based resources help ensure mentoring relationships are safe and effective for young people.
