"The Mentoring Center's instructor for Mentoring the Adolescent "was insightful and provided a wealth of information as well as suggestions on how we can better communicate with our mentees to establish meaningful exchanges. I highly recommend encouraging any mentor . . . to look into attending sessions at The Mentoring Center."

-T.K.

"Your training was so wonderful. I definitely want to give you more time next year - it is so valuable.
