Inspire Others, Inspire Yourself!

Welcome to the official blog for the Alexandria Mentoring Partnership in Alexandria, Virginia,

AMP was founded in 2006 and today represents over 10 programs, supporting over 300 mentors and 400 youth. As anyone who has worked with children knows, each day brings something new.

Here, we celebrate the amazing work and progress of all of our programs, volunteers, and youth. Learn about upcoming events, read inspiring stories, and share how being a mentor has changed your life too.

First Monthly Mentor Social at Muphy's

On Thursday, March 18th, a mix of mentors from across Alexandria came together for a late Happy Hour at Murphy's Irish Pub in Old Town. This marked the first of the monthly social events for Alexandria mentors.

These events will be hosted by the Alexandria Mentoring Partnership and are intended to further develop the connection between mentors who are working with youth in various programs throughout Alexandria. They will vary in design (not just Happy Hour), and we hope to have a strong interest. Therefore, we would like to have your input and ideas on how to best structure these in order to attract our dedicated volunteer mentors.

Please contribute your ideas by commenting on this post (your comments can be done anonymously if you wish). Or, you can email the coordinator for the AMP directly at mentoring@alexandriava.gov.
