Being a mentor is an incredibly rewarding opportunity to give back to your community. By sharing your experiences and perspectives, you can help empower a young person to reach their full potential. Mentoring also provides a much needed safe space for youth to talk about what they’re struggling with and will hopefully inspire your mentees to one day give back in the same way.
02 Change a Life
Mentors can make a lasting impact on the lives of youth – studies show that having a mentor improves a young person’s self-esteem, behavior, attitudes and relationships, as well as develops their personal strengths and abilities. It is likely that being a mentor will change another life – your own – by learning about yourself and being of reminded of what really matters.
03 Shape the Future
Every young person deserves the opportunity to have a great future, and mentoring a youth in your own community is a powerful way to invest in the next generation.
