MentorPRO Partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County to Advance Mentorship Success
BOSTON, MA — 26 November 2025 — MentorPRO, the evidence-based mentoring platform founded through decades of research and innovation, is proud to announce a new partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County (BBBS WC). This collaboration brings together BBBS WC’s longstanding commitment to helping young people achieve educational success with MentorPRO’s scientifically grounded tools designed to support mentors, mentees, and program staff.
As a leader in the youth-mentoring field, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County has built a powerful legacy of changing young lives through strong, enduring relationships. Their work has helped thousands of young people stay engaged in school, build confidence, and pursue long-term goals. MentorPRO is proud to support this mission by equipping the organization with a flexible, data-driven mentoring platform that enhances communication, strengthens matches, and helps every young person feel seen, supported, and connected.
MentorPRO’s platform is rooted in the research of Dr. Jean Rhodes, one of the world’s foremost scholars in youth mentoring and the Director of the Center for Evidence-Based Mentoring at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Dr. Rhodes’ work has shaped national mentoring standards and guides MentorPRO’s commitment to building tools that promote measurable, research-based outcomes. This foundation in evidence—coupled with the platform’s usability, automation, and engagement features—played a key role in BBBS WC’s decision to adopt MentorPRO.
As part of the partnership, BBBS WC mentors and mentees will also have access to MentorPRO Academy, a growing hub of professional development, training, and evidence-informed resources created to strengthen mentoring relationships at scale. The Academy offers research-driven courses and tools that support program staff, mentors, and youth alike.
“By combining BBBS WC’s decades of impact with MentorPRO’s science-backed technology, we’re creating an even stronger foundation for young people to thrive,” said Dr. Rhodes. With this collaboration, MentorPRO reinforces its commitment to providing youth-serving organizations with the tools they need to elevate mentoring programs, support mentors and Big Brother Big Sister matches, and ultimately help young people succeed in school and in life.
