Caring Adults Needed to Mentor Tulsa's Youth
January is National Mentoring Month, the time of year when our
nation and the city shine a spotlight on the need for every child
to have a caring, supportive adult in his or her life.
Mayor Bartlett's Mentoring to the Max initiative is a public
awareness program that calls for caring adults to get involved in
children's lives.
Mentoring helps prepare young people for the future by building
character and boosting confidence. It helps keeps them in school
and encourages them to succeed.
Mayor Bartlett says, "In spite of the proven benefits, thousands
of young people in Tulsa still need help achieving their fullest
potential. Every child needs a positive role model in their life.
Mentoring makes a difference and can transform lives and an entire
community. I encourage Tulsans to share their gifts that will
enhance a child's life and education."
The need is great and the time is now! Just one hour a week
can make a difference in a child's life. Call 211 today and say
you'll volunteer to change the life of a young person. Read more
