Applications Now Open for the 2025-2026 Mentorship Year through September 9th!🌟

EYMP is building the next generation of leaders—and we want you to be part of it!

🏡 For Parents & Guardians:
Are you looking for extra support, guidance, and encouragement for your child? EYMP pairs Eritrean youth with caring mentors who help them grow in confidence, connect with their culture, and gain life skills through fun activities and one-on-one support.

🙋🏾 For Youth Leaders:
If you’re a young adult who’s passionate about giving back and guiding the next generation, this is your chance to step up as a mentor. You’ll serve as a positive role model, share your experiences, and make a lasting impact on a younger mentee’s life.

Why join EYMP?
✅ Mentees gain trusted support and skills for school, leadership, and life.
✅ Mentors develop leadership experience while shaping the future of our community.
✅ Everyone strengthens their connection to Eritrean culture and community.

📅 Applications for the 2025-2026 program year are now open until September 9th. Apply today: https://www.eriymp.org/join

Help us reach our goal of raising $5,000 by the end of the year!!📣📣📣

The Eritrean Youth Mentorship Program continues to provide a space for youth, parents, and young adults to mentor and learn from each other, fostering stronger relationships within the Eritrean community! As you can imagine, many resources go into putting our events and programming together. We rely solely on the support of our community to keep our organization running, and we’d love nothing more than to continue getting our community together.

100% of donations go to supporting our programming and events. The funding will help us continue to organize monthly group mentoring/community building events for the community and also manage +20 mentor/mentee matches each year.

Donations to EYMP are tax deductible under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. When you contribute to our cause, you not only make a positive impact on our mission but also receive a tax benefit for your generosity. Please consider donating and help us reach our goal by the end of the year!! 🙌🏾 🇪🇷
