Metro Mentor Network
The Metro Mentor Network (MMN) is a great opportunity to build stronger connections with others in the field of mentoring and bring new energy to our shared challenges. MMN meetings feature networking, professional development, program announcements, mentor program recognition and access to training & technical assistance from the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota (MPM) and our partner programs. Anyone involved in staffing, starting or supporting a mentoring program is welcome to participate!
Metro Mentor Network meets the 3rd Thursday of every odd month. If your organization would like to host a MMN meeting, contact us!
