Become A Mentor

“To give you HOPE for the Future”
2 Timothy 4:17-18

Become a Mentor!

A Mentor is someone who provides another with support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement and serves as a Christian example. Last month was National Mentoring Month. This observance focuses our attention on the need for individuals, businesses, government agencies, schools, faith-based organizations and more to mentor and help people build positive futures for themselves. At AGAPE Child & Family Services, we have taken that one step further by launching an initiative to focus on the need for mentors all year round. Be a part of the effort to engage and empower children and families as they work towards their future. The four programs where the AGAPE/Grizzlies Mentoring Initiative will be focused and utilized to help youth and families in Shelby County are as follows: 1) Families in Touch (FIT); 2) Foster Care (Family Permanency Initiative); 3) Family Preservation; and 4) Adoption Center of the MidSouth.
