Lunch & Learn – Connection Drives Healing – Protective Factors of Adult Support, Compassion, and Allyship for LGBTQ + Youth
Linked Mentoring, Inc. presents Connection Drives Healing: Protective Factors of Adult Support, Compassion, and Allyship for LGBTQ+ Youth. Join us for PRIDE month’s Lunch & Learn where we will have guest presenters from Linked Mentoring, Inc. Linked Mentoring, Inc. is a youth mentoring organization which seeks to connect, empower, and inspire LGBTQ+ youth; connecting youth with an LGBTQ+ adult mentor so that the two can develop a trusting, supportive, mutually positive connection.
In this training, we aim to provide a foundational understanding of LGBTQ+ youth’s unique experiences and needs including identity development, representation, and intergenerational mentoring relationships. As we explore both the contemporary and historical disenfranchisement of LGBTQ+ youth, participants will learn key resilience-building practices they can implement in their own work to be affirming and inclusive service providers.

Mentoring Black and brown Girls and Femmes Mentor Training
2024-07-22 10:00 - 2024-07-23 15:30 | 210 Broadway, Cambridge MA 02139, 210 Broadway, Cambridge, MA, 02139, United States
MENTORING BLACK AND BROWN GIRLS & FEMMES
MENTOR and its Affiliates are focused on addressing the persistent opportunity gaps and structural barriers faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). More specifically, this work centers BIPOC girls and women and how their realities intersect with themes like wellness, community-building and mentoring. Research has shown that BIPOC girls and women experience unique challenges from childhood through adulthood including disproportionately high rates of school suspension and discipline, sexual trauma, violence and abuse, and a significant pay gap with barriers that prevent full participation in the workforce.
These challenges, perpetuated by systems rooted in racism, sexism, and structural poverty, have long-lasting effects on BIPOC communities. Although there is a high level of awareness around this, there aren’t adequate solutions that address the short- and long-term impacts of these experiences at scale.
This two day training curriculum explores questions like:

Why focus on this population of young people?
What challenges do Black and brown girls/femmes face?
How do we take special care in establishing mentoring relationships with Black and brown girls?
How do shared/disparate cultural experiences impact our mentoring relationships?

This training is for anyone who is in mentoring relationships with self-identified BIPOC girls/femmes or the staff of organizations who support these mentoring relationships (whether formal or informal). Participants also need to be in mentoring relationships for at least one year OR staff of youth serving programs in the field for one year or more. At this time, participants can be any race/ethnicity and gender, but must be 18 years or older.
**By registering for this training – You agree you are in a mentoring relationship with self-identified Black &/or brown girls/femmes OR support folks who are in these relationships (staff from your organization). You agree you are a mentor/volunteer and have been in this role for a year or longer (experience required; no new mentors) OR you are staff who has been in the field for a year or longer. You agree that you are 18 years old or older.
If you do NOT agree with any statement listed above, contact Gabrielle Paquin at gpaquin@massmentors.org
Thank you!
Registration/Check-in begins at 9:30am with training beginning promptly at 10am, both days.
Lunch and snacks are included for both days of training.

MENTOR and Mass Mentoring Partnership to host leadership panel conversation around effective workplace practices and investment to drive positive change for young people
For this invitation-only event, we will bring together diverse and proximate stakeholders to dive into the growing demand to integrate relationship-centered practices within workplaces, as well as elevate the need for policies and public dollars that reinforce these investments. Together, we will examine how the mentoring field bolsters systems and policy-level change through cross-sector partnerships with employers that center relationship-centered practices and coordinated advocacy efforts on the state and federal level for public investments.
BOSTON – Organizations and companies are continuing to grapple with the question of how to intentionally create an inclusive workforce reflective of society, while not falling prey to the current controversy around diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. In a search for balance, senior leadership from Boston-based public and private entities along with a Massachusetts State representative will hold open dialogue about the shifts towards skills-based hiring for young people and look at the role mentorship plays within a robust, inclusive hiring and staff retention strategy.

WHAT: MENTOR’s INAUGURAL FIRESIDE CHAT ON WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES TO CREATE SYSTEMS & POLICY LEVEL CHANGE
The panel conversation is hosted by MENTOR, the leading nonprofit increasing both the quality and quantity of mentoring relationships, in partnership with MENTOR Affiliate, Mass Mentoring Partnership. The fireside panel will shed light on the chronically disproportionate gaps in young peoples’ access to social capital and look at how mentoring bolsters systems and policy level change through cross-sector partnerships with employers that center relationship-centered practices and coordinated advocacy efforts on the state and federal level for public investments.
WHEN: Thursday, September 12 at 6:00 PM EST
WHERE: Bain Capital (200 Clarendon St., Boston),
WHO: Featured Speakers include:

Ernesto Anguilla, Head of Communications and Public Affairs, Bain Capital

To Attend:

Interviews will be granted both immediately before the event and directly following the conclusion of the panel. Interested media should RSVP to attend to Kelsey Nelson at knelson@mentoring.org

2024-10-10 10:00 - 11:30 | Virtual
Healing Practices:
Over the past 50 years, the field of psychology and medicine has learned a lot about the causes and effects of trauma on the human mind, body and spirit. Trauma Informed Care was developed as an approach, which takes trauma into account when diagnosing and treating individuals. But what if we also respect the parts of a person that are vibrant, strong and undamaged? What if we acknowledge the role that healing plays in our lives and the lives of young people? A Healing Centered Approach, expands the vision of trauma informed care to include a more holistic understanding of ourselves, especially as it relates to caring for youth. This workshop will provide knowledge and strategies to being in relationship with young people in a way that honors them as whole people and promotes well-being.

Helping Young People Cope: Staying in Conversation
2024-11-07 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
Young people benefit from being listened to by caring adults in their lives. We know this. We also know that ‘staying in relationship’ with youth helps them manage stress, build resiliency, maintain positive mental health and ultimately set them up for success. On the whole, young people feel a blend of optimism and uncertainty about the future. And they care about a wide range of issues, including climate catastrophe, the impact of social media on their lives and gun violence in the US to name a few. Adults who care about youth do too. Add to that, the weight of this upcoming Presidential election. The stakes have never been higher. We invite you to hone up on how best to engage with the youth in your work, your community, your family, your life.

Mental Health & Dis-Ease
Adolescence is a crucial period for developing and maintaining the habits important for mental health, but some adolescents are at greater risk of mental health conditions due to material disadvantages, stigma, discrimination or exclusion, and/or lack of access to quality support and services. This is why mentoring is so critical. A supportive adult presence – that allows for a shared connection and vulnerability – contributes to positive growth and adaptation. Come and learn how to promote resiliency among young people in this virtual training, targeted to both staff and mentors.

Helping Youth Cope: Staying in Conversation Post Election (Session #2)
2024-12-11 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
MMP understands the need for folks to come together to continue (or start) discussions on helping youth cope by staying in conversation. This is the second session of Helping Youth Cope. Everyone is welcome (whether you attended part 1 or not).
We know that young people benefit from being in relationships with caring adults in their lives. These relationships – sometimes in the form of formal mentoring – help youth manage stress, build resiliency, maintain positive mental health and ultimately set them up for success. We also know that young people care about a wide range of issues impacting their lives like climate catastrophe, racism, social media and gun violence in the US. It only follows that they feel a blend of optimism and uncertainty about their future. Adults who care about youth do as well.
With the weight of this upcoming Presidential election, the stakes have never been higher. That is why MMP is stoked to offer a webinar on “HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE COPE: BEING IN CONVERSATION”. We invite you to share space with us, ground yourself and hone up on how best to engage with the youth in your work, your community, your family, your life during this time of political variability.

2024-12-12 10:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
Cultivating Well Being
Cultivating well being is critical for young people to thrive as adults. What does it mean for youth to be well? What does it mean for them to succeed? What does it take for adults to improve well being for young people? This workshop is designed to help adult caregivers identify and generate skills that enhance youth well being. Raising adolescents to improve the world, builds stronger communities where people care for and about each other. Young people, in turn, develop a more positive sense of well-being and their opportunities to make impactful change – on SO many levels – become endless.
