Welcome to Mentor Chat Season 7!  Join TMP as we celebrate our 30th anniversary and the amazing programs and partners working to ensure that all youth in our region have the support they need to thrive. Throughout our history, TMP has listened as adults shared about the lasting impact that mentors had on their lives and how they’re now able to share their experiences, knowledge and lessons with young people to continue the cycle of mentoring. Through connection, trust, and support, mentoring continues to impact young people’s present and future. TMP is proud to be a part of the lasting legacy of mentoring.  Episodes are released every other week and you can check them out below or search "Mentor Chat" on all major podcast listening platforms.
