Spring is in the air! Going into a new season and my first month on the job as Mentors, Inc.’s new Executive Director, I am very excited about the chance to make my mark as the leader of this great organization. My plans over the coming months are to build a stronger community of mentors and mentoring resources; develop strategies for us to communicate more effectively; increase our support of mentors and protégé relationships; and to get to know each of you – mentors, protégés, parents, our school partners and supporters alike. |

Chevaz: Rob and I are two different people. That’s why we get along very well. We learn a lot from one another. Rob and I go the movies. We hang out, watch the games on television, go to the arcade and we also do things that are educational. Rob: When I first decided to become a mentor I couldn’t wait to meet my mentee; to teach him about the world; to assist him in circumventing the potholes that develop in life; to set a good example. However, a funny thing happened after I had been paired off with my mentee, Chevaz. |

Complete with popcorn (from a real popcorn machine!), hot dogs, soft pretzels and candy, Mentors, Inc. hosted a movie night on January 25th. Hosted by our friends at the Service Employees International Union, this was a way to show our mentors how much we appreciate the time and effort they give to their protégés and our program. As pairs arrived, the protégés were given Mentors, Inc. “dollars” to use to buy concessions for their mentors.
