Young people benefit from mentoring in so many ways. They graduate from high school and go on to college at a higher rate, are less likely to misuse substances, and more likely to volunteer in their 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.
The Governor’s Prevention Partnership connects prospective mentors to programs that have high standards of quality and success.
