Why mentoring matters!
Mentoring changes lives—and no one says it better than the people living it. You may not realize it for years, but mentoring matters and we have a few examples below who answer that question, “why mentoring matters.”
In this space, you’ll hear directly from the students who found confidence, the mentors who found purpose, and the families who felt seen and supported. These stories reflect the heart of our mission and the power of consistent, caring relationships.
Every quote, every moment, and every breakthrough reminds us: connection matters.
Outside of school, REMIX offers our students a place they can have a sense of belonging and feel accepted. We are SO grateful for imPACT groups and REMIX!
“We have daily requests from students wanting to be added to a group. These groups provide students with another person in the building who cares about them. Academics are temporarily set aside and it purely becomes relationship building. Students say they look forward to coming to school because of these groups. When students come to me as a counselor and don’t feel they fit in or have a friend, my first thought always goes to lunch groups. The added addition of REMIX on the weekends has also been so amazing because we have students who are not yet connected to anything outside of school so they never get to do anything. They don’t go anywhere and oftentimes parents aren’t even home because they are working so students are lonely. REMIX gives students the opportunity to get out and have fun while being in the presence of positive adults. That's why mentoring matters!
Because of REMIX she has positive friends, a mentor she trusts, and opportunities to try new things she would never get to do if it weren’t for Legacy and REMIX. Her self-esteem is the highest it’s ever been and her grades are the best we’ve ever seen. REMIX truly changed her life.
