The primary purpose of the MMC is to understand the scope and nature of mentoring and mentoring organizations in Michigan. Specifically, there are three key objectives:

1. Identify, count, describe, and track mentoring organizations, programs, mentors, and mentees.
2. Understand program components, processes, resources, and needs.
3. Encourage and support program evaluation.

Organizations that are registered with Mentor Michigan are eligible to complete the MMC.  If you run and mentoring program and would like to register it with Mentor Michigan,  visit the Mentor Michigan Directory .

Wave V Information - REVISED 

After the results of Wave V of the Mentor Michigan Census (MMC) were released, Mentor Michigan learned that one of the 136 programs that responded to the MMC inadvertently made an error in reporting their data.  We asked Kahle Research Solutions to recalculate the MMC results.  In doing so we were also able to add four mentoring organization's information that came in after the initial MMC deadline.  Below you will find links to the revised Wave V documents.
