OUR MISSION The Midlands Mentoring Partnership (MMP) is a backbone organization that seeks to increase the number and quality of mentoring opportunities available for youth.
2015 ANNUAL REPORT
OUR VISION To bring about community-wide, systemic change that will allow mentoring programs to serve more youth with quality services.
WHAT WE DOThe goal of collective impact work is to address social issues that require many different
players to come together and change their practices in order to solve a complex issue.
The work of MMP encourages mentoring programs to move away from the traditional
way of demonstrating “isolated impact” and more towards
working collaboratively across sectors to accelerate
reach and impact.
The MMP staff and board are able to focus on community
issues and research-based solutions from a strategic
level. Data and evaluation help identify gaps and
weaknesses in reaching cross-sector goals. MMP
coordinates the efforts of individual mentoring
programs, other nonprofits, educational institutions
and the business community to better serve youth with
quality mentoring relationships.
Because of a standardized data collection process for all
full member partners, MMP is able to research community needs and implement national
best practices for every aspect of the mentoring process from recruitment and training of
mentors to evaluation and reporting results on impact.
Mentor Screening Support increases the safety of youth by ensuring a standardized
background check as a minimum requirement for prospective mentors. In FY14, MMP paid
for 1,153 background checks at a cost of $45,000, with a cost of approximately $39 per
check. MMP leverages the volume for a discount to stretch donated dollars further. MMP
provides training on new screening practices to all MMP mentoring partners at no cost.
In November, 2014, MMP received the Catalyst Award from the Nonprofit Association of
the Midlands. The award was given to recognize that MMP initiated Omaha’s first-ever,
city-wide, multi-agency mentor-recruitment campaign that included a strong social
media component. WHO
WE
ARE
The campaign provided MMP’s partner agencies with a more cost-efficient way to recruit
new mentors. Since 2012 MMP has seen a 30% increase in mentor matches as a result
of this collaborative campaign.
Based on data collected from Omaha mentoring agencies it was determined that only
1.5% of the youth served with mentors in Douglas/Sarpy counties are foster youth
or youth that have had even a minor touch with the juvenile justice system. MMP is
currently piloting a new model called Youth Initiated Mentoring to bring about
systemic changes in order to accommodate the needs of these youth who are not
being served with mentoring. Additionally, MMP and it’s member agencies have taken
on a pilot with the Omaha Public Schools & the Empowerment Network to find mentors
for all middle school African American males that live in Omaha’s Village Zone.
To evaluate the impact of each agency’s mentoring program, and its adherence to
mentoring standards, MMP uses a peer review process and a 100-question mentoring
external assessment tool called Quality Mentoring Assessment Path (QMAP).
Through MMP — member agencies also have access to a “case management” and
data tracking system called MentorCore to ensure an organization is tracking data to
evaluate the effectiveness of their mentoring program. Collecting data and analyzing
impact on a continual basis ensures that all efforts remain aligned, and enables the
participants to increase efficiency and reduce costs over time.

juvenile justice and foster care youth. This pilot received national attention
from Dr. Jean Rhodes who is now formally evaluating this project.
MMP launched a project to serve all African American 6th grade males living
in Omaha’s 68111 zip code area. This is a partnership with the Omaha Public
Schools, the Empowerment Network and local mentoring partners.
“(The Douglas County Juvenile Assessment
Center) will continue to advocate for
support for Youth Initiated Mentoring
(YIM) because we have already seen how
it is game-changing.”
Shawne Johnson Coonfare Director, Douglas County Juvenile Assessment Center
“If YIM continues to show
positive results, it could be a
boon to mentoring programs
that currently struggle to meet
the demand for volunteer
mentors.”
