Why Be A Mentor
Throughout the mentoring process, a trusting and meaningful relationship is developed between an adult and a youth. This relationship is often the one constant, positive thing in the youth’s life. As a mentor, a child’s life is impacted in many ways.

Studies show that youth who have had mentors have:
  • Better school attendance
  • Increased chances of higher education
  • A more positive attitude toward school
  • Improved grades
  • Lower substance use and abuse
  • Less violent behavior
  • A more positive attitude about the future
  • A more positive attitude about the elderly
