The relationship provides the presence of a caring responsible adult who, along with the guardian or parent, provides support, motivation, guidance, advice and friendship in order to help a young person succeed. Does it cost a lot of money to be a Mentor? Once I become a mentor how do I begin contact with my mentee? What happens if I run into a problem with my mentee? How often can I visit my mentee? What does Mentoring mean to a child? What if my mentee is not bonding with me? Can one hour a week really make an impact?
