Mentors
Mentors must be between 21 and 35 years old and live in the D.C., Maryland, or Virginia area. In addition, they must be able to commit to a full year of participation in EYMP, which includes engaging with their mentee 2-4 times a month, checking in with our mentoring team once a month, and joining our group and community events as their schedule allows.
​
As an EYMP mentor, you'll also join a cohort of fellow Eritrean young professionals who are equally passionate about giving back to their community. Our team is invested in fostering relationships among our mentoring cohort, working with mentors to continue developing EYMP, and helping mentors develop their own leadership potential.
Youth Mentees
Youth mentees must be between 6th - 12th grade and live in the D.C., Maryland, or Virginia area. In addition, they must be able to commit to a full year of participation in EYMP, which includes engaging with their mentor 2-4 times a month and joining our group and community events as their schedule allows.
​
As an EYMP youth mentee, you'll be able to build a friendship with an Eritrean young adult that can give you advice on school, culture, friends, and anything else. You'll also be invited to smaller group events on various topics, and have access to other EYMP mentors and mentees. We want to create a space for you to have fun, ask questions, and build new friendships with others.
