All the Tools You Need to Succeed
​Being a mentor can make a huge impact! Mentoring can help improve social skills, self-esteem, and relationships. It exposes young people to a variety of experiences, helps them gain better social/emotional health, and support for reaching their goals.  Studies have shown that youth with mentors are less likely to skip school, start using drugs/alcohol, or engage in violence. 
​
We want you to succeed as a mentor! We provide training, and support throughout the whole process. We do our best to match mentors with mentees that share similar interests. 
Your influence can bring new hope to the lives of young people through the power of mentoring...you'll be surprised how much you may benefit as well!
