“If I Didn’t Have Her I Wouldn’t Be As Outgoing And Happy As I Am Now.”
After losing her mother to breast cancer four days after her 13th birthday, Tori jumped at the opportunity to have a Mentor for extra support. She met Connie early in her freshman year, and they have been together ever since.
At Be The One, we understand the many unique challenges our youth face today. Through mentorship, students are connected with an adult that matches their interests and personality. For one hour a week students meet with their mentor at school in a safe and positive environment. Be The One removes the financial burden of the program from the school by raising community support to fund a full time Mentor Coordinator position who is an employee of the school. Be The One also helps by attracting mentors and training them to effectively connect with students.
