Mentors are dependeable adults who give unconditional postivie support to a youth in need. Mentors find strenghts in their Small and build upon them. Mentors create a safe place for youth to express feelings in positive and constructive ways. Mentors can make a huge difference in the life of a youth that will last a lifetime.
