Think back to when you were a kid. What kind of relationships did you have with adults (or wished you had)? Perhaps you had a coach, religious leader, teacher, family friend, parent, or sibling who you looked up to. Positive adult role models in the lives of youth can make all the difference in helping young people to be healthy and productive. Encouragement and support go a LONG way towards helping kids make good decisions that affect the rest of their lives. Many kids need more support from adults than they are able to get in school and at home. By volunteering as a mentor, you are helping a young person not feel quite so alone in the world. Pay it forward and change someone’s future! Contact Debbie@thenewtonpartnership.org for more information.
