MENTOR TESTIMONIALs
"I can't express how rewarding and fun it is to be a mentor, in the REACH One program. After retirement I had time on my hands, and wondering if I could be of any use in the community. The time just flies when I'm with my sweet little girl. I love her like she if my own. I urge you to join the mentor program. You don't have to be a "spring chicken" to spend time with a child who needs attention. Be a friend, be a Blessing" - Jane Seiser

"Mentoring starts out slow, getting to know each, developing trust, discovering shared interests, teaching stuff and watching all the minion movies. Along the way you find you've been a positive influence and if you're lucky like I have been so lucky, you've become the best of friends and you realize some of the difference you made was in yourself as well." - Charles Lehman

"Being a mentor with REACH One can be satisfying for a variety of reasons and is quite simple. I enjoy being able to connect with a ten year old and participate in his activities. The 101 provides such an incredible variety of activities that there will always be something that appeals to your mentee. Being able to provide a positive influence is rewarding and encourages me to continue and further develop our relationship." - Dan Wucherer
