  • Building confidence and connection: my story as a youth mentor

    The idea of mentoring first crossed my mind during one of those long, quiet COVID lockdowns in 2020.

Of course, actually starting was another thing entirely. I wasn’t sure where to begin, so the idea just sat there, waiting for the right time.
