Mentorship

“A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.”
— Bob Proctor
 
 
 

 

Our mentorship program seeks to facilitate, encourage, and enhance the personal and professional development of individuals through the sharing of knowledge, experience and expertise.

 

 

 

Landscape Next Door is committed to motivating, inspiring, and empowering urban youth through authentic connections with professional mentors who share similar interests. Mentors spend at least 8 hours per month one-to-one participating in activities of their choice in the community. By investing in the future of underprivileged young adults, we aim to:

  • encourage critical thinking,

  • provide professional development,

  • fund afterschool programs and extracurricular activities,

  • facilitate college preparation,

  • teach financial literacy

  • help navigate community, and legal resources.

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
