2025 NextGen Connects Mentor Match Program (M2)
Over the course of 9 months, Mentors will meet with their Mentees, share knowledge, and
provide a firsthand glimpse of life and work in North Fulton. At the conclusion of the program,
mentors and mentees often find that growth and learning have been mutually beneficial, and the mentoring partnership has grown in ways not foreseen at the start.
