What is Mentoring:
Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee. There are lots of great ways to mentor in Dubuque! You can get involved in three settings:

Meet with a mentee out in the community, giving you the flexibility to decide where and what types of activities you and your mentee participate in together. Partners with community-based mentoring include:
- Reach & Rise
- Mentor Dubuque
- Circles Initiative
School Based:
Meet with a child during school hours and can do a variety of activities with your mentee on the school campus. Partners with school-based mentoring include:
- AmeriCorps Partners in Learning
- Dubuque Community Schools
- Foster Grandparent Program
