Our community-based mentoring program matches 3-5th grade students in our neighborhood (Pittsburgh, Atlanta) with local adult mentors in one-on-one mentoring relationships. Here at Blueprint 58, we take on a different definition of mentoring; we believe that both our students and mentors have much to learn from each other. Mentoring for Blueprint 58 is about sparking mutually transformational relationships in the hopes that our mentors and students learn and grow together. Mentors complete an application process that includes an online application, reference submissions, an interview with our Mentor Coordinator, a background check, mentor training, and cultural competency training.
Our hope is that mentoring relationships become organic and spending time together becomes second nature, but we do ask that our mentors abide by a few guidelines. Mentors must meet with their mentee at least twice a month and spend at least 4 hours a month together. Our mentors must also attend one on-going training per year, regularly complete a background check, and log monthly hours.

Mission Statement
Blueprint 58 is a community development organization that serves Atlanta’s Pittsburgh community and its surrounding neighborhoods. Our core belief is that lasting relationships are the best context for community transformation. Our mission is to strengthen our community by empowering youth, equipping young adults and families, and engaging neighbors.
Description
At Blueprint 58, we take a relational approach to community development, and work to accomplish our vision of a thriving community in Southwest Atlanta primarily through a variety of programs designed to empower youth, equip young adults and families, and engage our neighbors.
Mentoring is at the heart of what we do at Blueprint58. Our mission is to empower youth to grow into community leaders through mutually transformational relationships. Part of how we accomplish this is to match local mentors with 3-5th grade students that can commit to at least one year, and our hope is that our mentors will walk alongside their student through high school.
Sports provides a way for us to mentor our middle and high school students through dedicated coaches and volunteers. In addition, it's an opportunity for community members to rally around their teams and get to know one another. We have basketball and football teams for youth up to age 18.
Finally, we also provide various personal development programs ranging from weekly Bible studies to community support groups, outreach events, and weekly open hours for students at our new community center building in the Pittsburgh neighborhood.
