Strategic Plan: MENTOR Nebraska

For more than 20 years, MENTOR Nebraska has led the mentoring movement to ensure youth and mentors have access to high-quality experiences. Founded in 1999 as Midlands Mentoring Partnership, it has experienced tremendous growth and in 2019 made the decision to become a statewide organization – MENTOR Nebraska. To support this transition, it designed and implemented a strategic plan between 2020-2022 that refocused the organization’s core functional areas to have a statewide approach and align with MENTOR National. In 2021, the organization recognized its successful accomplishment of the goals and key activities outlined in the previous plan. Between the successful implementation of operational changes, the addition of board members representing areas outside of Omaha, a more explicit and growing commitment to racial equity, and the experience of responding to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, MENTOR Nebraska was ready to set the vision for its next phase.
