Mentoring has been identified by America's Promise - The Alliance For Youth (a national campaign spearheaded by Colin Powell) as one of the five fundamental resources needed by America's young people. Since 1992, the Portland Mentoring Alliance (PMA) has provided adults and young people a unique opportunity to share their lives, experiences and talents. Volunteers from area businesses have been matched with over 200 students at Portland High School. Mentors share their skills, experiences, talents, and wisdom with students looking for college, career, and personal guidance. They help enrich the lives of their mentees in many ways through challenge and encouragement. PMA is making a difference in the lives of many students in many ways. Because of this effort, more students have increased aspirations and are pursuing higher education.
