Young people also need communities where they can find mentors\, activities that give them purpose or even natural spaces. Mentoring programs that connect young people and adults promote well-being. These can also build bridges between teens\, educators and community leaders to work together to address problems before they escalate. \nJoin us on October 12th to hear from Sherry Hamby\, Director at the Life Paths Research Center as she shares about proven\, evidence-based strategies that can help young people thrive. Setting these in motion — with the help of educators\, family medical practitioners and youth program leaders\, to name a few — is not about creating a single program for a singularly troublesome moment in time. It is about investing in our children and young people now and into the future with a steady effort informed and constantly improved by new evidence-based science. \nAgenda \n9:00    MMG Kick-off Meeting (for Mentoring Matching Grantees only) \n9:30     General Registration Opens \n10:00   Research Corner Welcome \n11:00     Conversation with Dr. Sherry Hamby \n12:30    Lunch \n1:30      Break-out Sessions \n2:30     Closing \nWe invite you to keep the conversation going with MMP and Dr. Hamby on Tuesday\, October 17th at our first monthly virtual Lunch and Learn Series. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nSherry Hamby\, Ph.D. is an award-winning researcher and psychologist who is known for her work on trauma and resilience. She is currently the Distinguished Research Professor of Psychology at the University of the South and Director of the Life Paths Research Center. She is also the founder of ResilienceCon.

We invite everyone to engage in a meaningful conversation with our network of programs and stakeholders. There will be opportunities to share strategies\, ask questions\, and provide feedback.\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR MASS MENTORING COUNTS SURVEY PRESENTATION\n\n \nREGISTER FOR FOLLOW UP NETWORKING SESSION\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Beth Fraster\, VP/Chief Program Officer.
