“Making real positive changes to a young persons life daily is unexplainable. As mentors we are a support system, a constant reminder that we care regardless of the young persons past. I grew up seeing the effect of fatherless and motherless homes play a big part on society. The lack of positive older role models caused a lot of my child hood friends growing up to end up in prison because of criminality and some even dead. The only disadvantage in all of this is, it ends far too soon. 6 months tends to be a short amount of time to walk alongside someone and create that long lasting change for the better.”
