Organization Information

Mission Statement

Affinity Mentoring’s mission is to facilitate equitable growth in academics, social emotional skills, and self-esteem through mutually beneficial mentoring relationships. We believe in cultivating a brave space that amplifies the voices of young agents of change in a diverse and inclusive community.

Description

Are you ready to support students and families in our community? We match mentors and mentees (students K-8th) at these locations:
Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS)

  • Burton Elementary School, Southwest Elementary - Academia Bilingüe
Godfrey-Lee Public Schools (GLPS)
  • Early Childhood Center (ECC), Godfrey Elementary, Lee Middle School
What Affinity Mentoring Offers

Every youth needs 5-7 safe adults they can talk to and trust for healthy development and growth, but simply introducing a student and adult is not the same as fostering a life-changing connection. That is why we have built a mentoring program that focuses on equity-based, barrier reduction work to help address the barriers that keep youth from trusting adult mentor-relationships.
