Take Action for Mentoring

“It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done in my life, and I mentor children myself. It really touches your hear when you start seeing them really wanting to get advice, counsel and also cry to you about things that aren’t going right for them. I think everybody should be a mentor” - Michael Yanney
