The Fairfax Mentoring Partnership is a mentoring resource and referral program. We do not oversee matches of mentors and mentees, rather, we provide training and resources to those who do. Below is a list of mentoring programs in Fairfax County. Each provides mentoring services to area youth and is a member of the Fairfax Mentoring Partnership.

For more information, please contact Kristen Brennan, Program Coordinator, at Kristen.brennan@fairfaxcounty.gov or 703-324-5701.
