They find more self-confidence, self esteem, and are able to create big goals for themselves. Additionally, studies show that behavior, attitudes, and relationships improve when a child has a Mentor.

Benefits of Having a Mentor
- Young adults or teens can be encouraged and empowered in personal development, by getting help to identify and achieve career goals, and being held to identify as well as correct gaps in generic skills and knowledge.
- The knowledge, advice, and resources a mentor shares depends on the format and goals of a specific mentoring relationship. A mentor may share with a mentee (or protégé) information about his or her own career path, as well as provide guidance, motivation, emotional support, and role modeling.
