You don't need to have a specific title, a degree, or any special qualifications other than being compassionate, patient, and affirming.
Because just like mentoring itself, a kid will never ask that you be perfect, only that you be present.
Maybe it was the coach who encouraged you to keep going. The guidance counselor who insisted your dreams were within reach.
The colleague who took the time to listen and offer advice even though they weren't your manager.
The truth is these little moments are what shape our lives and can have life-changing impact on the lives of young people. It takes a little time, a little encouragement, and a laugh or two, so that every child has what - and who - they need to achieve a BIG and brighter future.
Because mentorship sounds huge, but the truth is...
IT TAKES LITTLE TO BE BIG
