Mentorship

Mentorship programs offer a host of benefits for both the mentor and mentee. It allows for a symbiotic relationship in which participants have the ability to feed from one another as well as teach transferable skills that will stay with them for a lifetime.  While working as a mentor for the New York State My Brother’s Keeper Initiative, I learned from my mentees and it is a life altering experience that I believe all of NYC’s children should experience. While learning, students are also getting a glimpse into what their future can look like, by speaking to someone who looks like them and who has come from the same neighborhood. They say you should lift as you climb, and what better way than to mentor a young man or woman from your community.
