EMPOWERMENT
Mentoring
-
Would you like to be a Mentor?
A mentor is an experienced professional or knowledgeable individual in your life who you can look up to, glean from, and respect. They are people in our lives who help us grow and develop. Mentors teach new things—give you a personal perspective of the things you are interested in for your life, career, and extracurricular activities, to better your life. Mentors help you develop skills, proper communication, how to manage situations, and they provide many other lessons that will be essential in life. Mentors are valuable resources for all ages and particularly youths who are still growing, learning, and navigating uncharted waters.
IEW needs mentors.
