Mentors Matter

We would like to introduce you to a wonderful program called Mentors Matter.

The mission of Mentors Matter is to serve as a faith based outreach within the community to help young people through their adolescent years; physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Mentors Matter's primary focus is as an intergenerational mentoring program, yet recognizing the needs of older/younger children not in the middle school aged group, Mentors Matter also offers, The Bridge. The Bridge has concerned mentors under the 50+ age requirement who are paired with kids of any age. The same mission and components of Mentors Matters is also adhered to with The Bridge

Mentors Matter pairs teens with mentors 50+, teaches the importance of giving back to the community through Community Outreach, facilitates outings which include the mentors, mentees and their families and also has “Teen Time” to help kids in making positive life decisions.

We would like to ask your assistance in helping to support this wonderful outreach opportunity.
