Mentors and mentees

I wanted to invite you into our mentoring ministry and help you understand the power of mentoring. This is the report from one of our mentors:

Today my mentee and I had our first official mentor hang out time! I had called earlier this week to schedule the time and what we were planning on doing and called to confirm the night before. So today, November 16th I picked her up at her home. We went to the clay cafe and painted some pretty rad pottery! I thought clay cafe was a good fit for our first hang out session. It was relaxed and made it so we didn't have to focus solely on the conversation, it was a good setting. She tends to be pretty quiet in groups with a lot of people around but as soon as she had the opportunity to talk we had some great conversations!It also gave her the chance to ask me all about myself. It was fun, she's a sweet girl! 

One thing she talked a lot about was school and some of the different work she was doing. She told me about a story that she had written and received an A+ for! After we were done painting we went back to her home and it was about 8:00. I walked her in and wanted to speak with her mom for a minute about next week and to tell her about our time together. Once inside my mentee brought her creative writing to me and let me read it, and then she showed me more of her schoolwork that she had done well on and it was so sweet to see how proud she was and be able to encourage her and build her up! I stayed at their home for about a half an hour, this was a good opportunity for me to talk to her mom more and let her get to know me! I had a great time and I really love this family and can't wait to get to hang out with my mentee more! 

Thanks for blessing me and allowing me to be a part of this ministry!


We would love to have you invest your resources in Boaz. Right now we have 12 kids involved in the mentoring with more waiting on mentees!
