Regional Training Institutes

Sustainable programs. Sustainable relationships.

Sustainability is a buzz word in the media today. VMP cares about sustainability too, but when we talk about sustainability, we mean well-designed, mentoring programs that can support long-term matches. Research shows that mentoring programs with good infrastructure create sustainable relationships. These lasting relationships can have a greater impact for children and youth.

To build a strong infrastructure, program leaders should be knowledgeable of and well-trained in how to implement best practices. VMP has established Regional Training Institutes (RTI) to provide training in the Elements of Effective Practice for mentoring program providers in the state of Virginia.

The RTI consist of two, day-long workshops. Each workshop focuses on part of the "Checklist for Effective Mentoring Programs." Each session includes additional information on a specific topic of interest to mentoring programs, such as fundraising, gangs, or mentoring immigrant youth.
