Alexandria Mentoring Month Proclamation Please join us by attending the City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 11, 2022, at 6 p.m. We will have pizza and refreshments for mentors and mentees. At the meeting, Councilmembers will welcome mentors and mentees and present a proclamation declaring January as Alexandria Mentoring Month. The Alexandria Mentoring Partnership was founded in 2006, following a series of community meetings centered on the need of more positive adult role models for the city’s youth. Today, AMP represents over 10 different programs, each with its own structure, mission, and capacity.  Around 400 mentees are supported each year through the work of AMP.  Partners include  the Virginia Mentoring Partnership, the City of Alexandria, local businesses, community leaders, and others. AMP works to provide a quality mentor to every child in Alexandria who needs one and to expand the scope of mentoring in Alexandria by assisting with program development, capacity building, community partnerships, and program support through mentor recruitment, screening, and training.
