Mentoring Amplifies


Smiles should be contagious, experiences shared, connections meaningful. This is how progress starts. We all need doors opened, shoulders to stand on and high fives along the way. We are never too old to play; minds and hearts should be full, successes celebrated, passions sparked, dreams achieved. There is no such thing as other people’s children. Young people aren't just the future. We are the present. We are all on this journey together.


It’s not just what you know it’s who you know who stood by you and who will you stand by? Mentoring amplifies.

Guilford Youth Mentoring’s goal is directly aligned with Guilford Public Schools effort to provide a Culturally Responsive Education: to do our best to provide an atmosphere where every child feels welcome, appreciated and recognized. That’s a tall order and one which isn’t being taken lightly. Mentors play a crucial role in this; they send a clear message: “you matter.”
