As school resumes, Bright Futures will start the second year of making a positive impact on students' lives.
This year Bright Futures is excited to add a Mentoring Program. It's as easy as having lunch with a child each week, but the impact can far surpass most people's imagination. It is simple things such as encouragement, guidance, listening, empathy, kindness, sharing, understanding, and caring that can make a difference in young peoples' lives.
What is expected of a mentor:
- Commitment - If you make the commitment, stick with it. Do not let these children down.
