MentorPRO Announces the Renewal of its Partnership with Step Up

MentorPRO today announced the renewal of its partnership with Step Up, the national mentoring nonprofit that inspires girls and young women to fulfill their potential, with a new multi-year agreement extending into a third year of collaboration and including full access to MentorAI.

“Step Up has been one of MentorPRO’s most generative partners since the very early days, and watching their program grow has been a privilege. We are excited to keep walking alongside their team and the young women they serve,” said Jean Rhodes, PhD, Co-founder of MentorPRO.

Step Up’s program centers on mentorship events and ongoing relationships designed to help young women define their goals and chart their paths. Year Three formalizes a longer commitment between Step Up and MentorPRO, providing the program stability to plan further ahead while bringing in MentorAI as a built-in resource for mentors and program staff. MentorAI will offer timely, evidence-informed prompts and resources, while keeping human relationships at the center of the model.

The partnership continues to be grounded in peer-reviewed mentoring research and a shared belief that every young woman deserves a mentor who can help her see what is possible. New features added in Year Three will also support Step Up’s continuous learning about what works best for different cohorts of participants.
