Virginia Mentoring Advocacy Network

Closing the mentoring gap in Virginia requires a concentrated, coordinated effort to influence public policy for the purpose of bringing about the resources and public support necessary to expand the world of mentoring.

The primary purpose of VMAN is to:

  1. Prioritize the issues of concern for the mentoring field;

  2. Develop a cohesive, effective public policy agenda for the mentoring field

  3. Implement that agenda at the federal and state levels.

To achieve the goals and initiatives of VMAN: Part A: Build an Advocacy Network - Identify grassroots supporters who are willing to be successful mentoring advocates. To sign up for VMAN, download this form and fax or email to VMP.

Part B: Influence State Public Policy - Once the network is established and functional, together we will implement a state Public Policy plan that complements the National Mentoring Public Policy Agenda.
