THE OPPORTUNITY

MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership (MENTOR) is the unifying champion for expanding quality youth mentoring relationships in the United States. For more than 25 years, MENTOR has served the mentoring field by providing a public voice; developing and delivering resources to mentoring programs nationwide; and promoting quality for mentoring through evidence-based standards, innovative research and essential tools. MENTOR has developed and supports a national collective of Affiliates that provide regional, state and local leadership and infrastructure necessary to support the expansion of quality mentoring relationships. Together, we engage with the private, public and nonprofit sectors to ensure that all youth have the support they need through mentoring relationships to succeed at home, school and, ultimately, work.

On behalf of an advisory group consisting of partners from Venture Leadership Consulting, we are thrilled to launch MENTOR California, a collaboration with MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership and a project of Community Initiatives. MENTOR California is an advocate for the expansion of quality mentoring and a resource for mentors and mentoring initiatives across the state of California. 

MENTOR California will work collaboratively across sectors to support existing and emerging organizations that provide mentoring services to youth by: 

• Expanding the capacity of agencies to provide high-quality mentoring programs
• Ensuring quality standards in all mentoring efforts 
• Significantly increasing the number of youth in quality mentoring relationships
• Convening local mentoring providers, and promote networking, collaboration, and shared learning 
• Leveraging and expand the human, financial, and in-kind resources dedicated to mentoring initiatives 
• Expanding the number and types of organizations – nonprofits, faith communities, corporations, schools, civic groups, and universities – that are equipped to start, manage, and expand a mentoring initiative
• Advocating for legislation, policies, and funding that support the mentoring movement locally and statewide 
• MENTOR California will play an important role in building the state’s mentor base, coordinating and streamlining existing mentoring efforts where services are overlapping, identifying funding streams to reach youth in communities not currently reached, and connecting organizations to high-quality training opportunities delivered through an equity lens.

We seek a well-connected, experienced, visionary leader to launch MENTOR California. The President and CEO will be instrumental in developing the statewide strategic plan, engaging a broad cross section of stakeholders to support the work, and building a sustainable and effective initiative. A successful President and CEO will build and strengthen mentoring and youth development networks and partnerships, lead fundraising efforts, and inspire a team of senior staff.  While the role will be based in the Bay Area, MENTOR California’s work will engage mentoring programs across the state. Successful candidates will balance “big picture” strategic thinking with the administrative know-how of a results-oriented manager and a track record of building partnerships and community collaborations. The President and CEO will build a team over the next several years, adding at least two director-level leaders to engage the Greater Los Angeles and Central Valley areas, as well as growing a team of staff and consultants to support the effective implementation of the strategic plan.

We work in a fast-paced environment that values learning and an entrepreneurial approach. Knowing its importance to the success of our work, MENTOR California is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, and we aspire to build a diverse team across our network. Please be sure to submit your resume and a thoughtful cover letter that explains your interest in the role and our organization. We appreciate your time and will review and respond to all applications received.
