Mentor Testimonials

As a mentor you have the ability to stay current and access different generations and see how they are looking at the world.

— PJ Leary, Mentor

A productive, successful mentoring relationship provides a safe space for exploring options, sharing and working through challenges, and celebrating accomplishments.

— Lynn Harris, Mentor Champion

It is rewarding for me as a mentor because more people benefit from our exchanges with rippling effects. Mentoring provides me the opportunity to give back and pay forward. A large part of my success is due to the counsel of mentors and the help of advocates, both formal and informal, who invested in me.
