One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination. – John Maxwell
What is mentoring?
Simply stated, mentoring takes place when a mature, caring adult spends time with an eager individual with similar interests.
Mentoring is proven effective in helping vulnerable children move past their obstacles, avoid their pitfalls and fulfill their potential. It is also helpful for parents to be mentored by someone who can understand their situation and support them when they struggle.
What difference does mentoring make?
Mentored children are more likely to:
- Improve in school.
- Avoid self-destructive activities.
- Gain hope and vision for the future.
