JANUARY IS NATIONAL MENTORING MONTH!

            Do you have a special memory of a family member, teacher, friend or community volunteer who has been instrumental in your life in a profound way? Has that person’s involvement within your life dramatically shaped you, your views or your life’s journey outcome? Why not honor those mentors by joining their magnificent ranks! Mentoring our youth greatly assists in reducing their educational drop-out rates thereby increasing their chances of remaining in school. This can have significant impact not only upon their future lives but also upon our own economic and social status as a whole. Lending your T.E.A.R.S. {Time, Energy, Affection, Resources and Strength} to such ones fortifies their self esteem and allows them to strive to the fulfillment of reaching their dreams and goals. Visit the following websites to find out more about how you can become a mentor or donate to a mentoring program. You can BE the difference! See you on the front lines!
