Emily's Fundraiser for Mentor North

I became involved with Mentor North in 2023! When I think about the work of Mentor North, I am most excited about the positive changes these make in children's lives. Our work feels more essential than ever because every child deserves to feel seen, known, and loved, regardless of circumstance. I know Mentoring Matters because I have watched my mentee grow in tremendous ways since we first met. When kids have someone that provides consistency in showing up and engages in activities they are interested in it fills them with confidence. When they feel as though someone is truly invested in their life, they develop a stronger sense of purpose. This is what motivates positive behavioral changes and has led to greater connection with peers and improved classroom engagement. Mentoring truly changes lives. 

For 2025 I am part of the Mentor North Power of 20 Campaign - with the goal to raise $20,000 and launch 20 new monthly donors all by Nov 20th.  So give monthly or give one time in any amount - both are needed!  

With your recurring or one-time donation, Mentor North will work to ensure that every local youth has opportunities to gain life skills, try new things, develop meaningful interests and engage with their community through 1 on 1 mentorships. Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that someone cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter.  Being in a mentoring relationship builds social connection, improved self worth, confidence, mental and physical well-being for mentors and youth alike. 

Resilience Builders - Please consider joining me as one of our Resilience Builders by choosing an automated monthly donation!  This will enable your partnership with Mentor North to benefit youth, families and community year round.  Think of it like a subscription to making the world a better place! 

Every Donation matters - Have you been looking for a way to do something that makes a real difference, and show youth there is love, joy, and a positive future for each and every one of them? Will you donate today to ensure local youth have one more caring adult in their life?
