Mentor Training in Somerset County

Mentoring changes lives.  Mentees build confidence, develop stronger interpersonal skills, set goals, and achieve higher standards.  If you are thinking of becoming a mentor, our mentor training program is an easy way to learn all about the mentoring process and the rewards, challenges, and profound  impact mentoring has on both the mentor and mentee.


Due to popular demand, United Way of Northern New Jersey is holding a free mentor training class consisting of four sessions.  Please note, individuals must attend all sessions.
