        <Explanation>The Organization evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions based on a more-likely-than not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the Organization records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from 2008 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Form 990, Part III, Line 1</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>RESEARCH SHOWS THAT MENTORING IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE MEET THEIR POTENTIAL. TODAY, MORE THAN 17.6 MILLION YOUNG AMERICANS NEED MENTORS. THE NEED IS URGENT AND GROWING. AMERICA'S YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE A POWERFUL ADVOCATE IN THE NATIONAL MENTORING PARTNERSHIP (MENTOR), WHICH IS LEADING THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO CONNECT YOUNG PEOPLE WITH CARING, ADULT MENTORS. THROUGH OUR WORK AT THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS, WE ENCOURAGE POLICY MAKERS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR MENTORING AND TO PASS LEGISLATION AND FUNDING THAT SUPPORTS THE EXPANSION OF MENTORING INITIATIVES. WE ALSO PROMOTE MENTORING BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH OTHER NATIONAL MENTORING ADVOCACY GROUPS, SUCH AS AMERICA'S PROMISE, AND THROUGH OUR NETWORK OF MORE THAN 30 STATE AND LOCAL MENTORING PARTNERSHIPS. THROUGH ITS NATIONAL MENTORING INSTITUTE, MENTOR ALSO SERVES AS THE PREMIER RESOURCE FOR MENTORING INITIATIVES. WHETHER PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO START MENTORING PROGRAMS, IMPROVE EXISTING ONES OR DEVELOP NEW METHODS, THEY CAN TURN TO MENTOR AND ITS NETWORK OF STATE AND LOCAL MENTORING PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE RESOURCES THEY NEED. RESOURCES INCLUDE: VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT, TRAINING, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR RUNNING SAFE, EFFECTIVE MENTORING PROGRAMS. MENTOR ENSURES THESE RESOURCES ARE READILY ACCESSIBLE BY PROVIDING THEM IN A VARIETY OF FORMATS. FOR THOSE WITH INTERNET ACCESS, MENTOR'S COMPREHENSIVE WEB SITE - WWW.MENTORING.ORG - OFFERS AN IMPRESSIVE ARRAY OF INTERACTIVE TRAINING AND DOWNLOADABLE MATERIALS, THE LATEST IN MENTORING RESEARCH, A VOLUNTEER REFERRAL SERVICE THAT CONNECTS TO THE NATIONAL DATABASE OF MORE THAN 4,000 MENTORING PROGRAMS, AN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM CLEARINGHOUSE AND A WEALTH OF OTHER SERVICES.</Explanation>
