The problem
Growing up brings questions about school, friends and the future. Many young people face these choices alone, because they feel they cannot ask their parents or teachers. They need someone older who will listen without judging, but finding that person is hard.
When a young person has no one to talk to, small worries grow into heavy burdens. They might make rushed choices or simply give up on their goals. A single conversation helps, but real trust requires someone who comes back again and again.
How organizations usually handle it
Youth organizations often run group workshops or drop-in sessions. These are good for teaching skills, but a crowded room is not where a young person shares what really worries them. Drop-in sessions mean they see a different face every time, so they have to start their story over from the beginning.
How mentoring solves it
Mentoring means a young person meets the same trusted adult regularly, over months. Because they know they will see each other again, there is no rush. The mentor is there to listen, ask questions and help the young person find their own way forward.
Over time, this regular rhythm builds a safe space. The young person learns that their mentor will show up for them. When a hard question finally comes up, the trust is already there, and the mentor is ready to help.
How it works on Mentornity
Matching youth with volunteers
Young people and volunteers apply through your own forms. Matching rules and Mentornity AI propose a volunteer for each young person, and your team approves every match.
Booking every meeting at once
The Meeting Planner books every meeting for the match at once. Both sides get calendar invitations with the meeting link for the built-in video room, Zoom, Teams or Google Meet.
Reminders to keep the rhythm
The evening before, everyone gets a summary of the next day's meetings. After each meeting, a reminder asks them to leave feedback.
A safe space with clear rules
Everyone accepts your program agreement, like a code of conduct, as they join. Your team sees exactly who accepted which version.
Or a mentor pool, with rules
Not every program needs fixed matches. In a pool program, mentors open their free hours and young people book them themselves. Rules still decide who sees whom: for example, a young person sees only mentors from their own city.
Mentor sees
Mentee seesWhat you can measure
Your team sees every booked and completed meeting in one list.
A list shows matches that have not met for 21, 30 or 90 days.
Goals are scored at the start, the middle and the end of the program, and change is counted only for people who answered both times.
Questions
Can we match young people based on their interests?
Yes. You create your own application forms with custom fields. Matching rules compare these fields, like hobbies or career interests, to propose the right volunteer.
How do we know if a match stops meeting?
The Coordination Center shows a list of matches that have not met for 21, 30 or 90 days. Mentornity AI can draft an email to check on them, which your team approves before it is sent.
Do volunteers need to use a specific calendar app?
No. Invitations arrive as standard calendar invitations. They can connect their own calendar to see the meetings in their own time zone.
