Mission and programs · 2025

• MENTOR NORTH'S INTEGRATED CORE PROGRAMS, MENTOR DULUTH AND MENTOR SUPERIOR, PROVIDE PROFESSIONALLY SUPPORTED ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING FOR YOUTH AGES 7-18. MENTOR NORTH'S INDIVIDUALIZED, RELATIONSHIP-CENTERED APPROACH STRENGTHENS EACH YOUNG PERSON'S CIRCLE OF SUPPORT WHILE HELPING YOUTH BUILD LASTING CONNECTIONS, CONFIDENCE, AND FAMILIARITY WITH THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. MENTOR NORTH'S MENTORING MODEL IS COMMUNITY-BASED RATHER THAN SITE-BASED. YOUTH ARE MATCHED WITH TRAINED, SCREENED ADULT VOLUNTEER MENTORS BASED ON PERSONALITY, INTERESTS, AND GOALS. MENTORS COMMIT TO MEETING WITH YOUTH AT LEAST FOUR HOURS PER MONTH FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE YEAR; MATCHES AVERAGE MORE THAN TWO YEARS. TO PROMOTE SAFE, STABLE, AND EFFECTIVE RELATIONSHIPS, MENTOR NORTH STAFF RECRUIT AND SCREEN MENTORS, CONDUCT INTERVIEWS AND REFERENCE CHECKS, COMPLETE BACKGROUND CHECKS, PROVIDE MENTOR TRAINING, FACILITATE THOUGHTFUL MATCHING, AND CONDUCT ANNUAL EVALUATIONS OF PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. EACH MATCH IS SUPPORTED BY A PROGRAM ADVOCATE WHO PROVIDES ONGOING GUIDANCE, REGULAR CHECK-INS, MONITORING, AND TROUBLESHOOTING SUPPORT TO MENTORS, YOUTH, AND CAREGIVERS. STAFF WORK TO STRENGTHEN MATCHES WHEN CHALLENGES ARISE AND TO POSITIVELY CLOSE AND TRANSITION RELATIONSHIPS WHEN MATCHES END. YOUTH WAITING FOR A MATCH ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN GROUP AND COMMUNITY-BASED ACTIVITIES THAT HELP THEM REMAIN CONNECTED AND ENGAGED WHILE THEY WAIT. IN 2025, MENTOR NORTH SERVED 206 YOUTH, INCLUDING 119 YOUTH WHO WERE ACTIVELY MENTORED BY 117 VOLUNTEER MENTORS. TOGETHER, MENTORS AND YOUTH LOGGED 1,501 MENTORING SESSIONS TOTALING 4,608 HOURS. MORE THAN 90% OF YOUTH REPORTED THAT MENTORING HELPED THEM FEEL MORE POSITIVE ABOUT THEIR FUTURE, FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR IDENTITY, AND LEARN MORE ABOUT PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES. YOUTH ALSO REPORTED ENJOYING TIME WITH THEIR MENTORS AND HAVING OPPORTUNITIES TO VISIT NEW PLACES AND TRY NEW THINGS. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF MENTORS REPORTED A POSITIVE IMPACT FROM MENTORING, AND 100% OF PARENTS REPORTED THAT THE MENTORING RELATIONSHIP HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THEMSELVES AND/OR THEIR FAMILY. MENTOR NORTH'S SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN PROFESSIONAL STAFF SUPPORT IS CENTRAL TO THESE OUTCOMES. CONSISTENT STAFF ENGAGEMENT HELPS ENSURE THAT MENTORS AND FAMILIES RECEIVE GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF EACH MATCH AND THAT RELATIONSHIPS ARE SAFE, STABLE, AND RESPONSIVE TO YOUTH NEEDS. THIS INTENSIVE SUPPORT REFLECTS ESTABLISHED BEST PRACTICES IN THE FIELD OF MENTORING AND ENABLES MENTOR NORTH TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED, HIGH-QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS AT SCALE.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made
