The Mentoring Project of the Upper Valley is a community-rooted, relationship-driven nonprofit providing independent mentoring for youth ages 9–18 across the Orange East Supervisory Union and Rivendell Interstate School District. We support young people navigating complex circumstances such as trauma, poverty, or limited access to trusted adults by meeting them with empathy, consistency, and respect. In partnership with schools, families, and community organizations, we thoughtfully match screened and trained local mentors with youth based on compatibility and shared interests. Through regular in-person connection, group activities, and service projects, we build trust, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging.
