Everybody Wins! Mentoring
Everybody Wins! is about relationships! Mentors are matched with mentees that have similar interests, so the friendships that grow over time become meaningful and rewarding for both the mentor and mentee. Just read the 2016-2017 survey results below to see how important this hour a week is to our mentors, our youth and our school community!
