My Story…
I am running for Mass Mentor Partnership because I have seen firsthand the positive impact that strong role models can have on those around them. Over the past five years, I have worked with hundreds of children as a youth sports coach and official. By far, the most rewarding parts of those experiences have been watching children grow, learn, build confidence, and become their own unique selves. My job as a coach is not just to make them better athletes, but to help them become leaders of their own so that they can continue to teach others. I take great pride in being a positive influence in their lives, both on and off the field, especially when I am able to witness their accomplishments. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have coaches who went above and beyond when it came to teaching sports. They supported me in my career and in my personal life, they believed in me when I didn't, and then helped shape me into the adult I am today. The most memorable moments of youth sports were never the games or specific plays that happened, they were all the little life lessons I learned from my coaches and staff. I truly believe every child and teenager should have access to a caring figure that can guide them through the world to lead them into success.
Description
I am #RunningForMentoring with the Mass Mentoring Partnership!
Mass Mentoring Partnership (MMP), is committed to ensuring that all young people in Massachusetts have the mentoring relationships they need to develop into thriving, engaged adults, resulting in vibrant communities.
Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter. Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on young people in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations. Ultimately, mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunity. Yet one in three young people will grow up without this critical asset.
At Mass Mentoring Partnership, we believe that positive relationships are foundational to the growth, development, and success of young people. As the leading mentoring resource in Massachusetts, MMP strengthens and expands the reach and impact of mentoring by equipping organizations, schools, and communities with the tools and support they need to foster meaningful connections.
Please join me on my journey to make a difference in the lives of young people across the Commonwealth through our fundraising efforts!
