Mentor Denton started less than two years ago with a simple, yet ambitious goal: let’s find a way to get 10,000 mentors from our community matched with the 10,000 kids of our community who need it the most. Built on the foundation of a bunch of great community partners working together and created in an agile, lean start-up kind of way, the initiative has already brought over 1000 new mentors into the system on a budget of exactly $0.
Today, I had the honor of presenting the Mentor Denton story alongside Gary Henderson, CEO and President of United Way of Denton County, at the National Mentoring Summit in Washington DC. Here’s the original presentation ready for download. In addition, I’ve turned the slides into pictures below.
