National research reveals that one-to-one mentoring relationships help children reach their highest social and academic potentials.  Children are more likely to show positive behaviors in school and at home than those that are not matched with a mentor.

A study of 200 adults who had an adult mentor revealed that:

• 52% said their mentor kept them from dropping out of high school
• Over 76% said they learned right from wrong from their mentor
• 84% said they learned the importance of helping others

Statistics show that those Littles who spent at least 12 months in a mentoring relationship were:

• 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
• 52% less likely to skip school
• 37% less likely to skip a class and therefore become more confident of their performance in school

Mentor Clinton County is reaching out to members of Clinton county and Fulton, IL to volunteer as mentors. Adult volunteers are needed to provide friendship and mentoring services to area children currently on our waiting list.  No special training or education required.  We provide all the training you need. If you can be a friend to a child, you can be a mentor.  

Can you help improve our area youth's chances at a happy, healthy childhood?   Volunteers are needed now.
