Our Mission & Vision

Why Us?

Potential is equally distributed; opportunity is not. A major driver of healthy development and opportunity is who you know and who’s in your corner. NABProfessionals was created to expand that opportunity for young people by building a youth mentoring field and movement, serving as the expert and go-to resource on quality mentoring. The result — a more than 10x increase in young people in structured mentoring relationships, from hundreds of thousands to millions.

Today, we activate a movement across sectors that is diverse and broad and seeps into every aspect of daily life. We are connecting and fueling opportunity for young people everywhere they are from schools to workplaces and beyond.

Why Now?

Systemic and growing inequity manifests as gaps in opportunity, networks, and access to adult relationships outside of families. Mentoring unites us. It is a key response to these issues. At a time when research shows that loneliness and isolation are trending upwards, we know that relationships are powerful tools. They bring us together, navigate us to greater connection and opportunity.

Who We Are

We are a group of well learned and experienced Black Professionals in Nottingham who are out to give back to the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community in Nottinghamshire from our wealth of experiences and vast knowledge. At Nottingham Association of Black Professionals (NABP), our services rest on the power of our vast knowledge and experience in various sectors. We focus on making the BAME people becoming successful, positive, focused, good citizens,  striving  high, full of life and others

Commitment to Diversity

NABProfessionals is committed to fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion for all. We embrace our differences and celebrate our common humanity in advancing awareness of the need for an transformative power of supportive relationships for our young people. We believe that varied perspectives, experiences, and opinions are central assets in our mission to close the mentoring gap.
