Living Proof Mentoring

Living Proof Mentoring is a community-based, grassroots program designed to support Black youth in accessing affinity spaces with Black adults and other youth for connection, representation, and increased social capital.

We offer an infusion of traditional, 1:1 mentoring and small group/community mentoring. Through our own programming and collaborations with other organizations, we seek to provide a more holistic approach to investing in the lives of Black youth.

While the intentional act of building relationships from a foundation of shared lived experience is at the heart of our work, it is not the intent of Living Proof Mentoring to bond through trauma or to permit the harms of racism to become central to the time we spend together. LPM is about centering Black youth; their needs, goals, and well-being.
