Being a mentor not only
impacts your mentee, but yours as well.
"First and foremost, they set me up with my first mentor and I don’t think they were ready for how impactful he would be on my life."
"The program served as a gateway for me to several learning opportunities and
events that allowed me to exercise skills that I felt were weak. More specifically, I was able to make friends and create a camaraderie with the adults as well."
"However, when I was admitted to this program, I started to feel a sense of worth and purpose, like I had a meaning in life beyond middle school and high school."
"I wanted to drop out of high school already and even my parents suggested it. Mentoring for leadership made me realize I, Beatriz M Coronado, make the greatest of what little I have. I will forever be grateful for the people who made/make time to invest in students."
"These amazing women are just two of the individuals in Mentoring for Leadership who serve as role models that push me to dream big and believe in myself - and as an example of the program."
"My GPA was taking a severe nosedive at the start of my sophomore year, and kept going into the middle of the year. At that point, it seemed hopeless that I’d recuperate from such a significant blow to my GPA. That’s when Mrs. Kellogg came into my life. She came along and scooped me up off the pavement, and boy did I need it."
