Share Your Passions and Skills with the Next Generation
The Experience Partner Program offers unique skills and activities that can enrich the mentor matches’ learning experiences and provide them with opportunities to acquire new skills and knowledge.
Building Skills Together
Our Experience Partners Program enables everyday professionals and hobbyists to equip and encourage the next generation to overcome the opportunity gap. Many youth don’t have the connections and opportunities to explore diverse career paths and experiences. When someone becomes an Experience Partner, they provide opportunity for the youth in our community to expand their horizons.
Activity Ideas for Partners
Generally, we encourage Experience Partners to share any activity that takes 1-2 hours! It can truly be anything that you think will be fun and interesting to a 7-17 year-old. Here are some ideas that we have seen before.
