Get Involved With Mentorship

At its core, mentoring assures young people that there is someone who cares about them, that they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and that they matter. Quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on young people in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations, according to research. Mentoring ultimately connects a young person to personal growth and development, as well as social and economic opportunity. Despite this, one in every three young people will grow up without this essential asset.

Mentors can share their strengths, abilities, and networks, while mentees can seek advice and benefit from the experience of seasoned professionals. Both parties are equally responsible for establishing this relationship.
