Mentors

I was living in a halfway house when my aunt encouraged me to attend one of the Society’s evening classes. This introduction—and my aunt’s belief that I could do better—changed my life.

I had to reimagine everything I’ve learned. I have to take the skills that made me successful on the street and use them for positive, to contribute in a meaningful way.

Having an ongoing relationship with my mentor has been just as meaningful as his help with getting a job and registering for school.
