Community Youth Concepts' Mentor Advantage Program

Help our future workforce figure out their path so their educational path is one that leads to positive outcomes. The Mentor Advantage Program (MAP), a state certified mentoring program, builds relationships between middle and high school youth and professionals. Mentors and mentees are matched based on personality, gender, and the mentees career interest. MAP's intent is to introduce youth to the mentors career and expose them to a behind-the-scenes look at how educational concepts are applied in a real-world setting. Matches are encouraged to spend time at the mentors place of employment, giving the mentee an apprenticeship-like experience, and explore what other opportunities might be in their areas of interest.
