Testimonial

“My Mentoring experience has been much more than I thought it would be. I expected to help a young girl achieve her goals - and not much beyond that. My surprise has been how much I have learned from her! I've been blessed with a Mentee who is not only smart, but has the most positive attitude of just about anyone I've ever met! She did not have a great start in life, and still has a few day to day struggles - but you would never know it. Her zest for life, and ability to just move forward and not get bogged down in the trivial details just amazes me. I've been mentoring her for about 3 years and have enjoyed every minute. We talk about lots of things - not just school or goal related. It's fun to see how she grows and matures as time passes! If you are considering being a mentor - Just DO it! You'll be rewarded in SO many ways!” - Lenore Nepveu
