Mentors Change Everything

The right mentor relationship can impact a child’s life forever. Mentor Connect helps facilitate genuine, Christ-centered relationships.

What is Mentoring?

We aren’t calling perfect people to do the impossible. We’re inviting ordinary people to make an extraordinary difference in a child’s life by doing what Jesus did – walking with, modeling for and loving someone near him. The activities and experiences your child has with a mentor will vary, of course, but every mentoring relationship will include:

  • Trusted relationships - We train all of our mentors and equip them with training, support and accountability.
  • Fun activities - Our mentors are creative and love working with kids, so there’s never a shortage of fun! Your child can choose what they love to do, too.
  • Partnership - Our mentors are walking alongside your family as a partner. They work with parents to make sure everyone is aligned every step of the way.
  • Spiritual leadership - Our mentors are prepared to be spiritual leaders for your child, helping nurture their faith and sparking spiritual growth.
  • Academic guidance - Mentors can help with homework, find creative ways to learn and provide encouragement for academic success.
  • Confidence building - For a child, having another trusted adult in their life who believes in them and challenges them to grow helps build even more confidence.

Our Mentoring Strategy

We offer training and guidelines to help mentors consistently and regularly show up in their mentee’s life, and make memories and create connections that last a lifetime.

The impact of mentoring goes farther than you think.

Mentoring not only impacts the child being mentored, but their family and even their community as well. It’s a ripple effect for positive change, including:

  • Brighter future - Helping boost confidence and academic success can change the trajectory of a child’s future, impacting their future communities and families as well.
  • Stronger community - Churches and families working together and raising up the next generation
  • Unity in Christ - Individuals of different ages, cultures and backgrounds build mutual understanding as they walk alongside each other.
  • Spiritual growth - a child’s spiritual growth develops strong roots that impact them well into the future, which can make a lasting impact for generations.

God designed us for community. People are supposed to help people. You have something to give, but you also have something that you need. And we’re not designed to do life alone.
