• Tyler Z. - Adult Mentee & Mentor

    If you are considering becoming a mentor or feel that you have a calling to become a mentor, please take a moment to read how one person, a total stranger that knew nothing about my life nor background, changed my life forever by just showing up. My mentor would spend time listening to me and taking me out to meals from time to time. He embodied the form of human love that my heart needed. My mentor showed me that being a mentor is first, and foremost, about loving the person in front of you without an agenda and supporting and trying to understand their feelings, as well as giving your best advice when they ask for it. JUST SHOW UP! -Tyler Z
