Empowering Youth and Families
Compassion – Respect – Service
❤️ With Heavy Hearts, We Say Goodbye to Mentoring Plus
It is with deep sadness that we announce that Mentoring Plus will be closing its doors after this week.
This decision was not made lightly. After years of serving youth and families in our community, ongoing financial challenges and the difficulty of sustaining consistent programming have brought us to this heartbreaking point.
Mentoring Plus has always been about more than a program. It has been about relationships, second chances, personal growth, and creating a safe place where young people could feel seen, supported, and valued. It has been about showing youth that their circumstances do not define them and that they have the power to build a different future.
To our youth and families: thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives. You are the reason this work mattered. We hope you carry the lessons you learned, the connections you made, and the belief in your own potential with you long after our doors close. Your stories do not end here, and your futures still hold so much possibility.
To our staff and volunteers: thank you for the countless hours, compassion, patience, and heart you poured into this mission. We know how difficult this ending is for those who gave so much of themselves to support our young people.
To our donors, community partners, and supporters: thank you for believing in Mentoring Plus and investing in the next generation. Every donation, volunteer hour, shared meal, conversation, and act of kindness helped make a difference.
While we are heartbroken that this chapter is ending, we are incredibly grateful for every young person who walked through our doors, every relationship that was built, and every moment that reminded us why this work matters.
An organization may close its doors, but the impact of the relationships built within it does not simply disappear.
Thank you for being part of the Mentoring Plus family.
You will always be part of our story. ❤️
With gratitude,
The Mentoring Plus Team

We remain as committed as ever to establishing local partnerships that serve Northern Kentucky area teens and their families, promoting healing, cultivating personal growth and encouraging healthy and productive community involvement.
