Mentoring changes lives! Hear from mentors and mentees about the power of mentoring.
Young people with mentors don’t just get guidance; they get a real boost.
They’re more likely to graduate high school, pursue college or career opportunities, and step confidently into their futures. They’re less likely to engage in risky behaviors like substance misuse. And they’re more likely to give back, becoming volunteers, leaders, and role models in their own communities.
Did you know how rewarding mentoring can be for the mentor as well?
Many Mentors Report that Mentoring Helped them:
Gain new skills that can help them in the workplace.
Get a fresh take on life from an entirely new perspective.
Grow and learn about themselves.
Have better relationships with their own children.
