The Mentoring Center
is recognized nationally as a leader in the field of mentoring.
We promote, develop, and implement the concept of mentoring
as a vehicle to transform lives and effectively address the
needs of youth of all backgrounds. TMC recognizes mentoring
as a viable tool for youth development. In 2000, informed through
our direct services after eight years of field testing models,
TMC began specializing its technical assistance to organizations
serving the highly at-risk youth population.
Mentoring concepts are continually refined through research
and field testing. We promote and communicate the concepts to
others by sponsoring conferences, conducting training, and providing
technical assistance and program development to mentoring agencies.
The Mentoring Center’s services include:
-The provision of technical assistance and training to the Boards,
staff and mentors of diverse youth mentoring programs;
-The Transformative Intervention Institute, an intensive three
day training for organizations serving youth offenders and highly
at-risk youth;
-The Mentoring Institute for Trainers and Managers, a training
of trainers course TMC teaches at UC Berkeley;
-The development, field-testing and evaluation of new mentoring
models for underserved youth populations;
-Raising public awareness about mentoring and encouraging individuals
to volunteer as mentors.
The principle charge of TMC is to assist requesting agencies
in the development and operation of effective mentoring constructs.
Since it’s inception in January 1991, TMC has served more than
800 agencies and has trained more than 20,000 mentors nationally.
The Center’s training format includes but is not limited
to:
-Determining agency organizational health and readiness to develop
and operate an effective mentoring program;
-Organizational development and capacity building for new and
existing programs;
-Developing mentee/mentor recruitment and retention strategies;

criterion;
