LOCAL MENTORING PROGRAM CERTIFIED BY THE IOWA MENTORING PARTNERSHIP

Certified mentoring programs expand in communities across the state

TeamMates Mentoring Program is happy to announce that TeamMates of the Missouri Valley was awarded full certification with the Iowa Mentoring Partnership. The Iowa Mentoring Partnership, a state government agency that is supported by the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service, strives to increase the capacity of local mentoring programs by providing statewide opportunities for training, recognition, resource-development, technical assistance and much more.

As the certifying body for local mentoring programs in our state, the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service is proud to announce that PROGRAM recently gained program (re)certification with the Iowa Mentoring Partnership. PROGRAM joins a network of more than 80 mentoring programs that have gained certification status with the Iowa Mentoring Partnership and are committed to upholding quality mentoring services for children and youth.

PROGRAM will also work to ensure Governor Chet Culver’s 2009 proclamation that “every child in the state have the tools and resources necessary to succeed.”

Share statewide mentoring data and insert a paragraph or two about the mentoring program. Be sure to mention how individuals can connect with the program and become a mentor.
