Why should you be a mentor?

The drop out rate in Denver high schools is 37% and 42% of Denver’s homeless people are under the age of 18. Studies show that mentoring programs help young people improve their school performance, social skills, self-esteem and ultimately, their future. 

By mentoring, you will strengthen our community and make a difference in the life of a young person. As a mentor, you provide a structured trusting relationship that provides support and encouragement to make better life choices.

You don’t need any special skills. Mentoring is simply making a commitment to a young person who will benefit from a positive adult role model.
