The Youth Mentorship Program is a Champion Project of the Lake County Chamber of Commerce to benefit the Youth in Lake County

Youth Mentorship Program September 19th - November 14th, 2022

The Youth Mentorship Program is open to young adult Mentees, ages 18 to 24. The Mentees are mentored by our Lake County business leaders, carefully curated to provide training  in the soft skills and to build confidence. The program is held in a structured environment, in partnership with Mendocino and Woodland Community Colleges. We match each Mentee with a local business leader to serve as a Mentor through the course of the program.

Program Summary:

The Lake County Chamber of Commerce Youth Mentorship Program prepares Lake County youth to enter the local workforce as professional, well connected, well supported individuals with outstanding communication skills.

Program Goals:

• Mentees receive comprehensive leadership development and communication skills training through a series of seminars, team building activities, academic engagements and Mentor meetings.

• Mentors receive specific training to create an arena in which their Mentee can be successful. As a Mentor you will provide guidance, leadership development, and skill building in weekly meetings with your Mentee.
