Current State

 

Desired State

People who could be mentors are very busy and struggle to find time to be a mentor.    Employers allow their employees to take some time (perhaps 4 hours per month) to do mentorship activities.  
Businesses that would benefit from a successful mentorship program in the community don't see how they can help.   Businesses (employers) are playing a valuable role in positive youth development by enabling and encouraging their employees to be mentors. 
Employers are not helping to recruit mentors.   By offering the benefit of paid time to mentor, employers are helping to recruit mentors.  
Employers struggle to retain good employees    If an employer is giving the benefit of paid time to do mentorship, good employees may be more likely to stay with them and have greater job satisfaction. 
Businesses don't get any recognition for supporting mentoring.    Every year, the local media does a feature story on businesses that support youth mentoring.
