Every stable adult who is educated and doing OK for themselves in life, should definitely consider being a mentor. Mentoring is a great way to volunteer and give back to your community. Mentoring is one form of volunteering that is an investment in our future and really makes a difference in the lives of our youth.
I especially encourage college student to mentor because in most cases college students need volunteer hours, and this shows young people how great being a college student is. I think that if more college students volunteered more people would attend college, thus reducing the high school drop out rate. Mentoring is something that you can do on your own time that is very rewarding! It is very easy to get involved, check out these sites for more info: www.bbbsbroward.org/ and www.bgcpbc.org/.
