January is National Mentoring Month! Casa Chirilagua has over 40 incredible mentors who each give their time and energy every week to one unique student. Throughout this month we’ll be sharing what some of our mentors have to say about mentoring with Casa Chirilagua.
Mentors on Mentoring by Adrian Pettaway
1. I became a Casa Chirilagua mentor because… I wanted to give a student the time, attention, and affirmation I longed for as a child.
2. The best part of being a Casa Chirilagua mentor is… seeing the smile on my mentee’s face when I pick him up.
3. The coolest thing my mentee has taught ME is… to always make time for fun.
