Why Nominate?
All nominated mentors and their organizations are highlighted on social media and/or the MENTOR NY blog—so everyone gets their moment in the spotlight.
Awarded mentors also receive a MENTOR Star Plaque, $500 donation to their mentoring program, and VIP treatment at our Awards ceremony along with their mentees and program staff.
Sharing a Mentoring Story
You don't have to be a wordsmith to write a winning mentor nomination! Here are a couple of tips:
-
Head over to Words Matter for guidance on how to use asset-based language when talking about young people.
-
Review the rubric used by our independent selection committee to understand how recipients are chosen.
Alternatively, skip the writing and share a story via phone or video call—reach out to us to get started.
