Circle Program’s Post

Mentorship: the gift of guidance, encouragement, and connection. It’s about being there for someone as they navigate life’s challenges and helping them uncover their potential. For the youth in Circle’s program, mentorship means having someone in their corner—a trusted adult who listens, empowers, and inspires. A mentor’s impact goes far beyond the moment. They help build confidence, foster resilience, and create opportunities for growth. During this season of giving, what better way to give back than by investing your time and heart into empowering the next generation?  **We Need You!**   As we prepare for the new year, Circle is looking to fill more mentor spots to support girls and youth across NH. Becoming a mentor means giving a gift that truly lasts a lifetime.  💙 Are you ready to make a difference?

Mentorship plays a critical role in the lives of teenagers as they become more self-aware and explore their potential as young adults. We always look forward to our mentorship sessions with our students. How has mentorship shaped you? #educateempower #charityforeducation

Mentorship isn’t just guidance. It’s the lifeline that shapes futures. 📊 Studies show mentored youth are 55% more likely to enroll in college and 78% more likely to volunteer in their communities. When parents or guardians need support in guiding their youth, we step in as the village. Who’s stepping up for the next generation? Remember: It’s not about making a dollar—it’s about making a difference. Let’s mentor. Let’s lead. Let’s change lives. #MentorshipMatters #BlackExcellence #BreakTheCycle #Ittakesavillage

As Mentorship Month wraps up, let’s remember: Mentoring young people in our communities isn’t just an act of giving—it’s an investment in our future. 🌱 When we share our knowledge, we help others grow, and we gain new perspectives in return. A thriving community starts with the effort we put in today. #MentorshipMatters #CommunityGrowth #PayItForward

The significance of mentorship cannot be overstated. It's not just about giving advice; it's about being a guide and a friend. For low-income or at-risk youth, having a mentor can make the difference between simply dreaming of a future and actively pursuing it. Our after-school programs are not just about keeping kids occupied; they provide an opportunity for kids to learn new things, receive help with their studies, and find a safe space to be themselves. That's why we are reaching out to passionate and committed adults and student volunteers to join us in our mission to support low-income or at-risk youth. As a mentor, you'll work with kids in our after-school programs. You can help them with their schoolwork, share your interests, and be a positive role model. Let's work together to inspire, educate, and empower today's youth to become the leaders of tomorrow.

January is National Mentoring Month A quote that has always resonated with me is: “Be who you needed when you were younger.” It reminds me of how powerful mentoring can be in shaping lives. I strive every day to embody this quote. It’s also the inspiration behind my career coaching business, #BWHO Career Mentoring, where I work with high school, college and young adults to increase their self, career, and post secondary awareness. https://lnkd.in/g7drAau2 🔑 Why Mentoring Matters: MENTOR’s The Mentoring Effect report highlights that youth with mentors are more likely to excel in school, lead in their communities, and pursue education and career opportunities. Yet, 1 in 3 young people—16 million—will reach age 19 without a mentor outside of their family. The Mentoring Connector is a free service that helps quality youth mentoring programs across the country recruit more local volunteers. Anyone interested in becoming a mentor can search for mentoring opportunities by zip code, ages of youth served, and program type to find and contact programs that interest them. https://lnkd.in/gYNReWfs

This morning, I reluctantly headed out to judge a Speech and Debate competition at my daughter's high school. The assignment? A full day commitment—8:30 AM to 7 PM. I wasn’t exactly thrilled. But what I witnessed today completely shifted my perspective.  As I listened to these students, I overheard other parents/judges saying:   - "This gives me hope for the future."   - "These kids are so impressive!"   - "I wish I could teach some of my employees to speak publicly like these kids do."  They were right. These students are *remarkable*. Their confidence, critical thinking, and preparation techniques are skills that many adults work hard to develop.  Today was a reminder that the future is being shaped in our classrooms. Our schools are filled with hardworking, talented young people preparing to take on the world—and they need our support.  If you’ve ever considered volunteering in a school, do it. Whether it’s judging an event, mentoring, or simply showing up, you’ll learn so much from these bright minds. It may even be the best professional development you do this month! #Impressive #WorldReady #SpeechAndDebate #VolunteerInSchools #ProfessionalDevelopment
