What is a Mentor?
A mentor is a friend and spiritual role model for a young person. You do not need any special skills to be a mentor. It is simply making a commitment to someone who will benefit from a positive adult role model.
Mentoring will challenge you, make you feel good, and make an impact in the life of a young person.
