Our Story

Over the years, it evolved into Very Important Partners and finally adopted the name Mentor Iowa in 2000, reflecting its commitment to mentoring at-risk youth. Today, it stands as a leading organization in Central Iowa, dedicated to fostering positive relationships between trained volunteer mentors and court-involved children.
