YLD Home ‹ Mentorship Project Home

The Mentorship Project is an online collection of resources, designed for mentors, mentees, and organizations. As part of the project the YLD teamed with StoryCorps® to share stories on mentorship in the legal profession. StoryCorps® is an independent nonprofit project whose mission is to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening. The mentorship stories are also archived in the StoryCorps collection in the Library of Congress.
