I can best summarize our relationship with Washington State Mentors as more personal than business. Aside from providing the intended services as an advisor, training resource, grant administrator, etc. They also provide an intangible but yet perhaps more important service, encouragement and moral support for our mentoring program.

After taking Ulises to Camp Dudley on Clear Lake his counselor informed me he was a little shy at first but quickly overcame his fears. I immediately saw a change in him, I saw a young man with confidence.

On his energy alone, we could go forever. I think he appreciates me as much as I appreciate him being a kid.

I’m very proud of Drew because he hasn’t given up on himself. He’s now attending school regularly, his grades are constantly improving, he’s trying to develop a new circle of positive friends and demonstrating a sense of hope and possibilities for what his future can be.

Angela keeps me on the straight. When I want to turn to the right or left, she reminds me what my dreams are and inspires me to keep straight.

There is a common misunderstanding with mentoring that it is all one sided, that only one person can benefit from the advice or learn new skills… but it is a relationship between two people that gives to each person.
