Matt Ward's Fundraiser for Mentor North

 I became involved with Mentor North in March of last year. I joined because I wanted to help foster growth in the community and hopefully make a lasting, positive impression in a child's life. I have been blessed to have a number of positive mentors and role models in my life, so the opportunity to "pay it forward" was exciting. The work of Mentor North feels more essential than ever because the old cliche is true - the children are our future. In order to invest in our future, we must invest in our children. Therefore, Mentor North is working to bridge the ever-widening gap between generations and firmly weave each generation and upbringing into the fabric of our community. 

For the 2024 Give to the Max campaign, Mentor North is aiming to raise $15,000.  With your recurring or one-time donation, Mentor North will work to ensure that every local youth has opportunities to gain life skills, try new things, develop meaningful interests and engage with their community through 1 on 1 mentorships. Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that someone cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter.  Being in a mentoring relationship builds social connection, improved self worth, confidence, mental and physical well-being for mentors and youth alike. 

Resilience Builders - Please consider becoming one of our Resilience Builder by choosing an automated monthly donation!  This will enable your partnership with Mentor North to benefit youth, families and community year round.  We also welcome one-time donations - every donation helps us create positive change. 

Every Donation matters - Will you donate to ensure that every local youth has one more caring adult in their life?
