The Allnette Mentorship Program exists to provide support, compassion, empathy, and encouragement. This program pairs individual who has recently lost one or more parent or are living in foster care with an individual who has lived in foster care or lived without one or more parent for a significant time longer. Although there is no substitute for a profoundly caring parent, individuals can still thrive if a person or group steps in to assist during this transition. People who have experienced similar losses or experiences can relate better and offer more authentic empathy and validation.
