Leading philanthropists, educators, social activists and business and community leaders from the Twin Cities helped create the Mentoring Partnership in an effort to reduce duplication among and establish quality standards for mentor programs. This community-wide collaboration leveraged mentoring efforts in the Twin Cities and developed a vision, mission and strategic plan recognized as an outstanding model by The National Mentoring Partnership.
