Via Evaluation

Too often, people underestimate the power of youth voice in the mentoring process. It doesn't have to be that way!

On February 6th, Caroline Taggart will co-present with Ashleigh Cieri and Kendra Elliott on "Centering & Elevating Youth Voice in the Evaluation Process with Ripple Effects Mapping" at the National Mentoring Summit.

We are grateful to work with organizations like Compeer that are deeply committed to continuous learning to support mental wellness.

The National Mentoring Summit is an opportunity for mentoring practitioners, researchers, philanthropic investors, youth leaders, government and civic leaders, and affiliates from across the country to unite under the shared goal of driving positive change for young people.
