MLK Mentoring Day

The Martin Luther King Mentoring Day (MLKMD) works to ensure that Black boys and young Black men are connected to effective mentoring services. MLKMD trains, coordinates, and supports partner organizations and connects youth and families that request and need mentors with good-quality mentoring organizations nationwide. We also help guide and support cities, communities, faith and community organizations, schools and others who want to create and maintain effective mentor programs. The MLKMD hosts a mentoring day to promote and popularize mentoring in Black communities and to encourage mentors and mentoring organizations in every state to mentor Black boys and young Black men.
