Why Mentor?

Mentoring builds positive behaviors in children, including:

Increased self-esteem
Improved academic skills, attendance, and social development
Greater awareness of the importance of education
Heightened sense of citizenship and character development
Better understanding of trusting relationships
Increased confidence

The mentoring relationship is rewarding for adults. It can be a way to learn more about yourself and experience the joy of seeing a child grow and change because you were there to help.

Businesses value the School-Based Mentor Program because it provides an opportunity for employees to make an impact on the community.

Teachers and counselors value mentoring because it brings community members into the schools, making education real for children and showing young people that the community cares about them.
