Mentoring can make a difference in a child's life. There are many people in the Tulsa area with a great many gifts that will enhance a child's life and education.

The Mayor's Mentoring to the Max program provides one way to volunteer your time. By calling 2-1-1, you can commit one hour of time each week individually to a child during school or help with out-of-school programs that engage children through music, art and even ballroom dancing. When you call 2-1-1, mention the age range of a child you'd like to mentor and the times you are available. Call 2-1-1 today to find out how you can be matched to a student and on your way to changing a life.

The time is now; January is National Mentoring Month. Read more about Mentoring to the Max on our website.
