The Partnership serves as an advocate, resource, catalyst and clearinghouse for the expansion of quality mentoring in Maryland. Today MMP provides leadership, resources and a rallying point for mentoring providers throughout the state. The result is better service, greater collaboration, smarter use of resources and more youth in quality mentoring relationships. MMP is linked through MENTOR/The National Mentoring Partnership with a network of 38 state and local mentoring partnerships. This supportive relationship bolsters our work with access to national research, advocacy, replicable models, and technical assistance.

Maryland Mentoring Partnership programming includes advocacy, community development, mentoring, and youth services.
