Inspire Others, Inspire Yourself!

Welcome to the official blog for the Alexandria Mentoring Partnership in Alexandria, Virginia! The purpose of this blog is two fold: inspire and be inspired.


For those of you who are already mentors, you already know both the joys as well as the challenges of this important role. Share your moments: the"aha!"'s,the"hahaha!"'s, as well as the "oh no!"'s.Use this forum as your virtual mentor community: find the courage you might need to keep going or encourage others with your own experiences. Through one another's anecdotes, videos, and photos - we can more deeply connect in order to effectively empower our youth!

For those of you who want to be a mentor, WELCOME! This forum is a place to learn more about the mentoring experience. Please take some time to read the posts, watch a couple of videos, or peruse the pictures. The hope is that you will find this blog provides you with a realistic perspective on mentoring (both the challenges and the victories) as well as a clear way on how you can become involved in the life of a child this year.
