““I love my time with my mentor.” 

- Mentee

I would give my mentor a 10/10 for being the best mentor ever because, well, we do lots of fun things together and I just really really like her.”

- Mentee

“This is the one relationship that has changed my son’s life inexplicably for the better in every way possible.”

- Mom of a Mentee

“Because of her mentor she is more centred and self-aware. I think it was because of being able to develop a connection with a caring adult that made her more willing to initiate other positive relationships.”
