About MENTOR Milwaukee: MENTOR Greater Milwaukee (MGM) is an advocate for the expansion of quality mentoring in the metro Milwaukee area, and is a resource for mentors and mentoring initiatives. In 2016, the City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) funded a study to explore developing a MENTOR affiliate in Milwaukee. That study concluded there was an unmet demand for quality mentors in the area. As a result, the City of Milwaukee, MPS, and the Milwaukee Bucks agreed to partner to build capacity among area agencies currently offering mentoring services, increase collaboration, and coordinate recruitment and training efforts.
