January is National Mentoring Month

Our community partners at the Mentoring Partnership of SW PA shared this update about National Mentoring Month. Thought this might be of interest especially for patrons looking for volunteer opportunities:

There are almost 1000 young people on a waiting list for a mentor. We need volunteers who will spend time with a young person.

SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW!
Kids ages 6-18 are waiting to meet you and learn with you.

• Not sure if you have enough time.....it takes just 4 hrs./month-more if you’d like!
  
• Not sure you’d know what to do.....we’ll teach you!
• Not sure where to find the right program....we know them and can help you pick the one that is a perfect fit.
