The Iowa Mentoring Partnership (IMP) provides assistance to all mentoring programs,
providers, and communities. The IMP seeks to create a network that allows the
mentoring programs in Iowa to become aware of each other's programs, strengths,
and resources. The IMP also serves as the monitoring organization for the use of
effective mentoring practices within the state.

Iowa's Promise
The Iowa Collaboration for Youth Development (ICYD), the backbone of Iowa 's Promise,
has adopted the America 's Promise framework to communicate a common and powerful
message to Iowans about the importance and value of providing children and youth
with the services, opportunities, and supports they need to succeed. By mobilizing
Iowans to fulfill “Five Promises” — the fundamental resources that create opportunities
for success in life — ICYD believes that we can improve the lives of young people
throughout the state. Communities of Promise are essential partners in these efforts
and provide a mechanism to take our commitment to children and youth to scale.
RSVP (Retired and Senior
Volunteer Program)
RSVP offers maximum flexibility and choice to its volunteers as it matches the personal
interests and skills of older Americans with opportunities to serve their communities.
RSVP volunteers choose how and where they want to serve-from a few hours to more
than 4 hours a week. RSVP volunteers provide hundreds of community services.
