We’re excited to announce three major milestones at MENTOR Vermont:
- 10 years of our Executive Director’s leadership
- 10 years since MENTOR Vermont expanded to become statewide
- 20 years since the organization was founded in 2003
We started as a small organization with big dreams, then known as Mobius. Over the past two decades, we’ve grown to become Vermont’s leading voice for youth mentoring. As we reflect on a decade of Chad Butt’s visionary leadership and two decades of dedicated service to the Vermont youth mentoring field, we’re reminded of the incredible impact that can be made with hard work, passion, and collaboration.
With each passing year, we’ve seen our collective impact grow – thanks in no small part to the dedication and vision of our Executive Director, Chad Butt. As we celebrate his 10 years at the helm, we’re reminded of the incredible progress we’ve made and the challenges we’ve overcome. We are equally grateful for the dedication and service of Benji Thurber, who was instrumental in the expansion of MENTOR Vermont’s work over the last decade.
But we also know that our work is far from done. That’s why we’re asking for your support as we look to the future. By making a donation in honor of Chad Butt’s inspiring leadership, you’ll be recognizing the achievements of youth mentoring statewide, and helping to ensure that our programs and initiatives can continue to grow and thrive. With your help, we can make an even greater impact in the years to come, providing more young people with the support, guidance, and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.
So please, join us in celebrating this momentous occasion by making a donation today. Your generosity will help us build a brighter, more equitable future for all young Vermonters, and ensure that MENTOR Vermont can continue to make a difference for years to come.
