Mentoring the 100 Way Across A Lifetime℠

Chapter Impact Story:

“We had one participant who had lacked direction in his life and was going down the wrong track; however, after a few members rallied to his cause, we started to notice some changes in his attitude. He became more engaged in the sessions and began to open up more with the mentors about his circumstances, which had created some personal issues for him. We're still currently working him, and he'll be enrolling into a community college this Fall, which was something he wasn't considering before becoming a part of our program.”
