More than 1 in 3, about 35% nationwide, say they grew up without the support of a mentor. Sadly, many didn't have a father or a mother in the household.
According to mentoring.org, about 1.8 million young adults ages 18-24 did not have a mentor, nor could they nominate anyone they felt was a meaningful person in their lives.
Two-thirds of our youth ages 18-21 said there were times growing up when they wish they did have a mentor.
Youths with mentors:
92% More likely to volunteer regularly within their communities.
74% of those who had a meaningful mentor say that person contributed significantly to their success later in life.
60% of those under 40 say they are still drawing advice from their childhood mentor.
