 Expand your world. Be a Mentor!
Research indicates that mentoring children who have no significant
adult influence in their lives is effective in motivating a child to stay in
school to learn and behave in positive ways. Thus, mentors for children are
needed as part of the answer to improving the health, welfare, and workforce
in the Miami Valley. Click on the logo to learn how you can make a positive difference
in a child’s life!
