Mentored children are more likely to have stronger relationships with their parents, teachers, and peers, and are more likely to volunteer in their communities and hold leadership positions. Mentoring makes a big difference!

Volunteering as a mentor for youth is rewarding! The best mentors are compassionate, good listeners, and willing to share their thoughts and experiences with their mentee, while centering the mentee’s needs.

Does that sound like you?
