Philadelphia Youth Voice Focus Group – Jul 26

Posted by MENTOR Independence Region on July 18, 2023

Calling all Philadelphia Youth aged 16-24!

Are you 16-24 years old? Do you live in Philly? Do you want to share your opinions on how adults can better support young people?

The purpose of this focus group is to hear what young people think about mentoring. MENTOR IR sees mentoring as adult-youth relationships grounded in love and caring with a common purpose and eye to the future. MIR wants to know what youth have, want, and need from their relationships with adults in order to thrive. MIR sees young people as experts who know best about their lives and what they want from mentoring relationships.

This focus group discussion will be used to inform a project called The State of Relationships According to Youth. The goal of this project is to amplify youth voices and perspectives to improve the field of mentoring and ultimately address social justice issues in our local community of Philadelphia.

Join MENTOR Independence Region in-person on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, 4:00-5:15 PM for a focus group at 100 North 20th Street in Philadelphia and earn a $25 Visa gift card!
