"Being a Mentor" by Susan of Federal Way
Two years ago a friend told me about Communities In Schools and how she became a mentor. She made the experience sound so wonderful that I signed up to be a mentor the following year. Nothing could have prepared me for this experience – it is life-changing. My mentee is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is determined, hopeful and unstoppable. For one hour a week, we meet and talk, do activities and inspire each other. I am so proud of her, and what she has and will accomplish. I highly recommend becoming a mentor, make a difference in a child’s life and have a child make an impact in your life – you won’t regret it.

One Child At A Time
"I used to think that success meant making a million dollars. Now a little older and wiser, I’ve found that my greatest sense of satisfaction comes when I give a part of myself to someone else. Through Communities In Schools, I’ve been able to mentor young men and help them realize their full potential in life. Through these relationships, I’ve learned that the success of our nation depends on a generation that is desperately in need of good role models. It only takes a little time, energy and commitment to make a difference in the life of a child. I believe my work as a Communities In Schools’ mentor is my greatest achievement."
