Why is having a mentor important for boys growing up today?

Connection

Some boys may not have a male role model in their lives or might be looking for a positive influence outside their family. Just showing up and being kind, honest, and reliable can make a huge difference.

Presence

Mentoring doesn’t have to be serious all the time. Playing soccer, going for a walk, or grabbing a snack can build a real connection.

Guidance

Mentors teach by example, like how to handle challenges, and make good choices. It’s the little things that matter most.
