Benefits of becoming a mentor
“The thing I love most about working with YWU is working with the mentees, either just talking with them about day-to-day things and helping them improve on life skills, or assisting them with personal projects they are working on. It gives an opportunity to connect with someone new and create a positive impact on their life.”
