"When (mentee) first moved here, he was lost. Thanks to your organization, he is a much more confident human. Both of his mentors gave him more than I could have ever imagined; positive male role models who showed him how to be a compassionate young man. That is priceless. Thank you!"
"I signed up to be a mentor with SEOYM thinking I'd be the one giving back, but honestly, it's given me more than I ever expected. Seeing my mentee grow, find confidence, and chase thier goals has been nothing short of inspiring. It's changed how I see myself, and it's reminded me that showing up for someone can truly change both your lives"
"I'm so grateful that my child gets to be part of this group. She gets to have lots of great connections with good people who care about her."
