Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school, and for having respect for family, peers and community.
Become A Mentor
Mentoring has been linked in studies to social-emotional development benefits, improvements in youth perceptions of parental relationships, and better prospects for moving on to higher education. Youth that have mentors have better academic performance, school attendance, a positive attitude and a decrease in alcohol and drug use
So if you wish to get involved in helping at-risk young people, becoming a mentor is a brilliant way to help the kids and make yourself feel good helping others.
Mentoring is mighty important and good mentoring is worth its weight in gold.
