The Kids Left Alone
By Joel Greder
Being a teenager can sometimes feel really lonely. It’s hard to figure out where you fit in and who you can trust, especially when you’re sent away to a school for behavioral health reasons.
Recently, a boy who initially didn’t trust his Teach One to Lead One® (T1L1) mentors shared his transformation story at graduation. He used to think nobody cared about kids like him, and being a lock in school, no one ever visited. However, his T1L1 mentors kept coming back every week, bringing hope and never giving up on him, even when he was difficult to deal with. He stressed how impactful T1L1 mentoring has been on his life.
Graduation
By Dr. Lori Maldonado
Graduations are happening all around the globe this past month! One class, in particular, had a really neat moment when a female senior who received the “The Second Mile” Award embodied the spirit of this recognition by helping another student catch up on his 5 missed sessions through the Mobile Mentor App. Thanks to her support, he was able to graduate with the rest of the class.
