VERY worthy cause - MENTORING!
24Jan2007 10:32 AM Worthy Causes
Although
the vast majority of my mentoring has been informal,
I've been an avid mentor as long as I can remember,
and I just discovered not only a local opportunity
here in Eagle Point (ASPIRE) to contribute
to the community as a mentor, but also a statewide
organization here in Oregon (Oregon
Mentors), and a national
organization (Mentoring.org) which links to
resources and networks to mentoring groups and
opportunities all over.
If you feel that you want to make a positive contribution with your enthusiasm, support, knowledge and just plain caring in the lives of young people, check out these opportunities! If you're reading this, you probably have a lot to share, and that sharing can make a BIG difference... See my thoughts about the film "Right Here, Right Now" in a recent post... I don't claim that my high school paper on the golden ratio was responsible for my uncle's Joe's younger nephew becoming a Math professor ... although HE acknowledges that as being an influence... We often see only the tip of the iceberg of the effects that our goodwill creates, which may propagate through many lives and around the planet!
When I reflect on the years I taught Adult School (Leadership and Human Relations), conducted classes at Deuel Vocational Institute in Tracy, California, workshops in Arizona, California, and now Oregon (including our local high school) those have been some of the most fun highlights of my life... Perhaps you have insights and knowledge you would like to share also; now is the time!
