Mentoring in the community

Mentoring is so much more than just advisor and advisee. It is a heart-to-heart relationship between one who has been emboldened to learn and one who has been impassioned to help. The Madison area is filled with diverse minds and full spirits who seek to contribute and we are thrilled to share these resources.

Dane County Expands Mentoring Program for Youth Involved with Crime

Dane County leaders announced Thursday the expansion of an “intensive mentoring” program to support at-risk children who are susceptible to committing crimes and hopefully prevent them from going further down a criminal path.


As a part of the program, 49 young people will be matched up with an adult mentor who has experience with the criminal justice system. The adults are to meet or talk with the children two or three times a week and form “deep personal relationships” with them, said Renee Moe, president and CEO of the United Way of Dane County, one of the organizations that will help run and fund the expanded program.

'Change is possible': Madison Leaders Launch PSA in Effort to Stem Gun Violence

Corey Marionneaux said he “straddled the fence” growing up, earning good grades in college but also getting involved in criminal activities. For those struggling to survive, violence can become a lifestyle, he said, and transitioning to something positive is continuous work.


Seeking to offer those resources — and following a sharp increase in shootings last year — Madison leaders are hoping a new public service announcement about gun violence will resonate with youth caught up in the juvenile justice system.


The group released the five-minute video Thursday as part of a partnership to mentor justice-involved youth by connecting them to adults who have similar experience with violence, incarceration and poverty.
