By acting as a mentor, you can encourage someone else to explore their passions, develop new skills and reach for their goals. Studies have shown that when young people are supported by mentors, they are more likely to engage in positive behaviors, stay in school and find success in life.
By taking on the role of a mentor, you are helping to build stronger, healthier communities by fostering meaningful connections between adults and youth. Having an adult in their life who cares about them can be incredibly beneficial for young people - it can inspire them to reach for greatness and provide stability and guidance during tough times.
When someone is able to talk openly with an adult who they trust and look up to, it can boost their self-esteem and help them develop into responsible adults. Through mentorship, young people can learn how to make sound decisions, solve problems creatively and take control of their own lives.
