Thanks for talking about this important issue. I work for Oregon Mentors -- the statewide partnership that works to expand the number of young people with access to quality mentoring relationships. There are more than 165,000 kids in Oregon who need mentors; currently 35,000 have mentors through the support of mentoring programs around the state.

Potential mentors can connect to mentoring opportunities at: www.oregonmentors.org. We host Oregon’s statewide database of mentoring opportunities through more than 100 programs around the state, operating in more than 500 locations. Programs like Kids Unlimited, SEI, Mentor Portland, Incight, APSIRE, and many more, offer a variety of unique ways that adults can support young people.
