Link to their life.. by being an Adult Mentor

“Linking to the life” of an at-risk or aging-out youth means choosing to be a part of their life.
It means being there if they need advice or a strong shoulder or a patient ear.
It means they have a place to go for the holidays and they have someone to call to share good news.
It means saying they won’t be in this alone.

Imagine being young and alone…

  • On your birthday or a holiday and having no one to enjoy it with.
  • Getting ready for college or a big job interview and having no one to talk you through your nerves and insecurity.
  • Making a mistake with your finances and having no one to help you.
  • Getting married and having no one to celebrate with you.
  • Experiencing a crisis like being sick, having a car accident, or losing a job and having no one to walk with you through it.

All of us have experienced times when we needed help, a time when we needed a shoulder to cry on, a hand to help lift us up, or a cheer when we succeeded. For most of us, this comes from our family. For those who don’t have family, they also don’t have the support, help, and encouragement in the good and bad times of life.
