​"I am enjoying this journey to success with my mentee. We are developing a caring and positive relationship. His teacher has also seen some really great changes and how he’s making better decisions when it comes to conflict resolution. I’m very proud of him. I would like to add that he’s been runner up for the past two weeks for student of the week."

​"This mentoring program is one of the most rewarding things I get to do each week.  I'm blessed to be a mentor and wish that something like this was around when I was a young person.  Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to positively influence someone else's life and make a difference.  I enjoy working and talking with Timothy, he is a real inspiration for me as much as I'm to him.  I will definitely pass along the word to others here at my job and within my neighborhood and tell them of the rewarding opportunity becoming a mentor can be for them."

​"The most satisfying part was going every week and just being there for the challenging times and the happy moments. We also both did scrapbooks for everything we did during the year, such as our first meeting, studying, fun in the gym, etc. It was a great experience for us both."

​“My mentor made me a better person by helping me stay focused, fun, and active. She is a wonderful person…”- Jania, Middle School mentee

​"I am so proud to be a part of your organization. I was nervous because I had heard how quiet my little Lilly is and wasn't sure if she would warm up to me.  Well I had nothing to worry about!  My normal day will be on Wednesdays and I am already looking forward to next week."
