Feeling excited to mentor? Nervous? Not sure what to expect? Here's what some of our past mentors have said about their experience:
"Mentoring allowed me the opportunity to share my experience with a young individual. After reading about the Be A Mentor program, I felt an immediate connection. I recalled when I was a teenager and how I yearned for a stable adult role model in my life. Being a mentor is challenging and yes at times work, but it is also highly rewarding and fun.”
“Having an adult show her respect and offer guidance has really made a difference in my mentee’s life. She has blessed mine immeasurably, partly because she serves as a reminder of how fortunate I have been and because she gives me faith in today’s youth. Mentor relationships are the best, and I recommend them to everyone!”
