Together they do a variety of educational, fun and enriching activities. Mentors can make a profound difference in the life of a child! Studies show that youth with a mentor have more positive outcomes in school and in the workplace. In order to develop trust and consistency, a 1 year commitment is required. Mentors are screened and trained before working with a child.
