International Women's Day 2022

3/8/2022

0 Comments

 
Happy International Women's Day! Today the BEST Kids team honors the amazing women that dedicate their time to volunteer in our mentoring program for youth in foster care. These women not only enact our mission in every interaction they have with the youth in our program, but also continue to inspire our staff and mentees on a daily basis.

Our mentors serve as coaches, confidants, role models, guides, and much more — but most importantly they become a friend to the youth they are matched with. By simply taking the time to be a listening ear or exploring a mutual hobby, our mentors build a lifelong connection with their mentees. "Thank you" is not enough to express how much gratitude we have for this dedication, but we'll say it anyway. To each and every mentor in our program, THANK YOU! 

As we celebrate these amazing mentors, we encourage you to celebrate the women that serve as mentors and role models in your own life. Learn more about International Women's Day here. Learn more about mentoring with BEST Kids here.
