My Role As A Mentor
I am an In School Mentor and have been matched for 2 years. My mentee and I go outside to play sports or games, play on the computer, do science experiments, bake, and play board games. We have become friends and have learned from each other.
What Motivated Me To Get Involved
I became a mentor because I love working with kids and helping them see their own strengths. I hoped it would help me to build my own self-confidence. I wanted to share my experiences with a child to help them through adolescence and be someone they could take to and trust.
What I Enjoy Most About Being A Mentor
I enjoy having fun with my mentee. It is a very rewarding experience and knowing my mentee is looking forward to the next time we meet shows me that he is benefitting from our match.
