Why Become a Mentor?

Take a minute and think of someone in your life who has offered support or encouragement. Maybe it was a favorite teacher who stayed after school to help you with your homework. Or a supervisor who helped you navigate the in’s and out’s of your first job. While you may not have realized it at the time, those adults were acting as mentors. Mentoring is just extra support and encouragement. It is a helping hand or a listening ear…someone to challenge you to be your best and to believe in you as you work to achieve your goals
