INTRODUCTION
M28 has established a mentoring culture as part of our efforts to do life with others and to help people move away from poverty and addiction toward wholeness and community. As part of our services, we provide a mentor to assist others in transitioning from where they are to where they want to be.
WHAT IS A MENTOR?
A Mentor is someone who walks beside a person or family, helping them move forward in their life. In Mentoring, a the mentor provides the person being mentored a “taste of grace” where they:
- Find a safe place to explore their inner-most thoughts
- Find someone who totally listens and is present with them
- Find another person who has good intentions toward them
- Receive acceptance without blame or ridicule
- Are challenged to reach their potential and not settle for mediocrity
- Have a sense of security
- Find hope and a place to dream
This is what it means for us to “do life with others,” helping them move to a more preferential future.
