I agree to contact my elected officials at least twice annually to raise their awareness of mentoring as an effective youth development strategy
I agree to contact my elected officials when requested by the Rhode Island Mentoring Partnership
and/or MENTOR/ National Mentoring Partnership to ask for their support on specific bills, policies or funding proposals that would advance the field of youth mentoring
I agree to sign on to the MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership Action Network (via the www.mentoring.org Web site) to be kept informed on federal/national mentoring developments
I agree to notify the Rhode Island Mentoring Partnership and/or MENTOR/The National
Mentoring Partnership if I become aware of an opportunity to promote mentoring to local, state and federal officials
