April 5, 2010 – As a one-on-one, community-based mentoring program, we have – by definition – dedicated mentors. Each of them is ready, willing, and able to develop an individual relationship with a high school student who will benefit greatly from their college and professional experience.

We are currently mid-stride in our Mentor recruitment efforts. That means we are on the prowl for college-educated adult volunteers who can spare a couple hours a month to keep a promising, lower-income student on the track to college – and teach them a thing or two about the way things are along the way.

Current Mentor Lisa Schlehuber with the Eli Lilly Federal Credit Union says: “Actually, I’m a bit surprised by what mentoring has given to me. Getting to know Katie and helping her stay on the path to college and later success has taught me a lot about young people today and the very different world they live in compared to my teen years.” She continued, “Katie’s a great girl. Together, we are positively impacting both of our futures!”

If you are a current Mentor, we recognize you as a powerful source of potential mentors for the kids we serve! We would be honored if you consider your own social and professional networks and carefully identify those who might be real mentor material.

Consider the gift of mentorship. Come by the office. Meet us. Let’s talk about pairing you with an ambitious young high school student who needs to pick up a little “know-how” from someone who knows how.
