Today is Mentor Appreciation Day, a time to highlight the importance of mentorship in young people’s lives. Mentors can help shape the future simply by being present and being themselves. Thanks to positive mentors in their lives, young people from vulnerable groups experience the following changes:
- 92% more likely to volunteer in their communities;
- 75% more likely to take on a leadership role in a club or sports team;
- 22% more likely to feel a strong sense of belonging during adolescence.
Take a moment today to reflect on those who have been your mentors, whether a teacher, colleague, or community member. How did they positively influence your life?
Would you like to become a mentor and inspire young people to build a new, strong Ukraine? Join us today!
