Mentoring is more than just helping a child with homework or hanging out for a couple of hours each week -- it's about transformation! Every child deserves a chance to succeed in this world and mentoring is a surefire way to keep kids on the right track.
Mentoring has been proven to increase the likelihood that youth will graduate from high school and go on to college, participate in extracurricular activities, and volunteer in their local communities (The Mentoring Effect).
If you are considering becoming a mentor, please consider attending an upcoming mentor training where you will learn the roles of mentors, ways to listen to kids, mental health first aid, and much more! We will be hosting several trainings, of which you will only need to attend one:
Wednesday, Sept. 3rd - 5pm to 8pm at WYN
Thursday, Sept. 11th - 5:30pm to 9pm at 3 Top Mountain Room in ASU Plemmons Student Union
Wednesday, Sept. 17th - 5pm to 9pm at the Beacon Heights Room in ASU Plemmons Student Union
For more information, please contact our Mentoring Services Director, Angela McMann, at mcmanna@westernyouthnetwork.org or 828.264.5174.
We hope to see you there!
