The relationship with a mentor can be life changing, whether you are a high-profile professional or a youth facing uncertainty. In this session, we will explore the impact of the human connections that mentorship and advising relationships can bring, what programs like the Global Mentorship Initiative, Na’amal, and Journeys to Belonging are doing to support mentor relationships with refugee and displaced youth and adults, and how we can grow and scale mentor programs while maintaining the quality and impact of these human-centered relationships.
