Generations Together provides opportunities for adults to make a difference in the lives of young people. Mentors share their interests, experiences and wisdom. They are individuals who care, listen, build friendships and act as role models. They also provide career tips, academic assistance, support and guidance. Mentors are the catalysts who shape our future community and society.
Mentors impact in both the students lives and our public school system.
Our mentors play an important role by helping attain a higher number of successful graduates, increasing the number of successful citizens and developing valuable future employees. The Qualities of a Mentor Good mentors possess the ability to reach out to youth who need support and guidance. This requires a personal commitment to provide moral support and approval from a caring adult. Ultimately, a true friendship drives the success of a mentoring program. To ensure success, the district asks mentors to commit to working with a mentee for a minimum of two hours per month during the school year.
