BIPOC Youth Mentorship Program
We are dedicated to supporting BIPOC youth through mentorship, representation, and culturally responsive programming.
The BIPOC Youth Mentorship Program empowers BIPOC youth by fostering resilience, confidence, and leadership through culturally aligned mentorship. The Program is a transformative initiative in partnership with the City of Winooski ,Winooski Working Communities Challenge, powered by funding from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This program is a bold step toward dismantling inequities and creating a future where every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive. By pairing youth with BIPOC mentors who share their cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds, the program provides relatable role models and vital support. Through mentorship, structured activities, and community engagement, participants gain critical skills like problem-solving, self-advocacy, and goal-setting, helping them overcome systemic barriers and access opportunities for personal and academic growth.
Youth Development and Mentorship
The BIPOC Youth Mentorship Program empowers refugee and first-generation youth through culturally responsive mentorship, fostering confidence, resilience, and leadership. By connecting youth with mentors who share their experiences, we support personal growth, academic success, and community building.
Academic and Career Support
The BIPOC Youth Mentorship Program provides tailored academic and career support to help refugee and first-generation youth succeed. Through workshops, one-on-one guidance, and skill-building activities, participants gain tools for academic achievement, college preparation, and career planning, empowering them to reach their full potential.
Community Building and Cultural Connection
The BIPOC Youth Mentorship Program fosters community building and cultural connection by organizing events that celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity, and strengthen cultural pride. These activities provide a safe space for youth to explore their identities, build relationships, and develop a sense of belonging.
“You cannot become what you do not see. BIPOC mentorship bridges the gap, offering representation, guidance, and the inspiration needed for young minds to dream big and achieve even bigger”
— Patrice Lumumba
