How Youth Benefit from Mentors in Their Lives
As parents, we’re our kids’ first teachers. But having other positive relationships with trusted adults helps them experience new things, and grow their independence while developing a sense of community and belonging.
Mentoring relationships can make a world of difference for young people learning about themselves, developing confidence, and building important coping skills to succeed in school and the future. .
