Lunch n' Learn Sessions meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month from 12-1pm. These events are used for a time for folks to tune in, while eating lunch, to learn more about a topic: time to go deeper in subjects that value and support mentoring relationships or these sessions may offer short spurts of information on updated research, happenings and/or tools. We welcome you as often as you can join us!

April 15th 2025: Emotion Coaching
Have you ever worked with someone who seemed to have a natural ability to connect with young people’s feelings and soothe them? Have you noticed that as we age, we tend to be less emotionally expressive, and sometimes dismissive of displays of emotion from youth? If you’re looking to learn another tool for your toolbox in building strong mentoring relationships, join us for this session on emotion coaching: a four-part skill to validate, empathize, and problem solve with youth, leading them to feel better supported and heard by the adults in their lives. Whether you mentor, run an after school program, train volunteers, or care for young people in your life, here is one more research-based strategy for making connections to support YOU in your impactful work.
May 20th 2025: Funding for Capacity Building
Has your organization thought about applying for funding for capacity building? What does this mean, and how does an organization do this? What does it mean to partner with other organizations for capacity building? These are all questions we will explore with MMP’s own Chief Advancement Officer, Amanda Doyle-Bouvier.
