Way to Help Title Way to Help Content Are you looking to give back to your community and have an impact on someone? Do you have a desire to help youth succeed? Well, look no further! Guiding Light is the place to give your service. If you are looking to impact many youth, consider becoming a group mentor. We provide the materials that cover the skills to be learned for the duration of the group mentoring. You will review the lesson for the day, and then will facilitate a group discussion, 1:1 work or a group activity, depending on the day. You help our youth work on skills like anger management, leadership, and job readiness. As the session concludes, our youth complete an evaluation of what they learned. This is an excellent way to help if you are looking to share your lifetime of experience, develop a greater awareness of community resources and the needs of today’s mentees, and desire the opportunity to have a positive impact in your community.
