When Alberto, Teach for America teacher from Peru
visited California this month he was looking for the most effective approach to
mentoring that he could replicate in his country. His search led him to Tony LoRe and Youth
Mentoring Connection. Reminds us
of another Feb visit, when we hosted a delegation of 35 high ranking
dignitaries from Macau, China. When
asked why they chose Youth Mentoring Connection (YMC), they replied that their
research pointed to YMC as being the most innovative approach. They were impressed with our graduation rates,
success reducing gang involvement, mentor support and mentor testimonials about
how the experience changed their life as well as their mentee. Tony, George
Shohet (YMC Board Chair) and selected mentors Michael & Dani Carter and
mentees Sergio, Imelda and Giovanni spent a day training the entire Chinese
delegation in our mentoring process.
Watch for Youth Mentoring Connection's model to spread throughout the U.S. and the world!
