Many young adults in our Alexandria community are facing a variety of challenges. Studies show that, young adults who were at-risk but had an active mentor in their life are 130% more likely to hold leadership positions.
The Alexandria Seaport Foundation offers young Alexandrians an apprenticeship opportunity to develop leadership skills, build confidence in themselves, and give back to their community! By mentoring at ASF, you can coach these young adults by hands-on learning that teaches them valuable life skills that will equip them in education and in the workforce.
If you are interested in building up our young adults, please email Jimmy Gottfried at asf@alexandriaseaport.org

Mission Statement
To ensure that quality mentors and mentor programs are available for Alexandria's youth and young adults in need by maximizing mentor recruitment, screening, and training AMP strives to provide every child and young adult in need in Alexandria with a quality mentoring relationship.
Description
In the fall of 2006, city staff, mentor program representatives, and community volunteers came together to form the Alexandria Mentoring Partnership (AMP).
AMP is dedicated to strategically expanding quality youth mentoring in Alexandria, Virginia. Operated through the Alexandria juvenile courts, the AMP acts as an umbrella organization for mentoring programs throughout the city. The AMP acts as a clearinghouse for mentor and mentee referrals. Additionally, the AMP provides our partner programs with opportunities to collaborate and share best practices on mentor recruitment, training, and support through networking and advocacy.
Our mentoring programs vary in structure and mission, though the standard minimum requirements for mentors include an application, criminal background check, and the ability to commit for at least one hour, once a week, for one year.
