Plant the seeds early, grow all year long.

Have you ever thought about becoming a mentor but weren’t sure if it was right for you? Or maybe you’re interested in mentoring but don’t know where to start. If this sounds like you, join us for our upcoming event, “So You Want to Be a Mentor? – An Introduction to Mentoring.”

Who mentored you?  Pass it on. Think of the mentors in your young life – a team coach, teacher, concerned neighbor or another caring adult. Then, honor those who encouraged you. Become a mentor and continue the legacy.
