Two Websites Help Mentoring Programs Engage Men as Mentors

WeBuildMen.org set out to build a national movement that encourages men to help make a positive impact in a young man’s life by building a community platform that’s custom-built for today’s man – to help him take on the challenges of contemporary mentorship in a bite-sized, confident, and exciting way.  The effort is spearheaded by Esquire who also just launched The Mentoring Project to tell the stories of men in mentoring. There are a number of ways that programs might consider using these new tools:  promote it on social media to spread the word of men as mentors, make sure your mentoring program is included for those seeking opportunities, and check out the resources for program activities and outreach.
