Let’s look at some math today, shall we? Don’t worry; we promise you won’t need a calculator for this one. Here’s our formula: “Mentorship = Resilience” Sounds simple, right? But the true beauty of this equation lies in its impact, which we’ve broken down in our newest campaign: “Mentorship Equals”
To celebrate Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, we are participating in a national campaign called “Mentorship Equals” to highlight how mentoring builds resilience for children and youth! We’ve always known that mentorship works. It has been about fostering meaningful connections, building long-lasting relationships, and sparking the magic within our youth to unlock their full potential. Now, however, we have more than anecdotes and feel-good stories -we have the data to prove it. Mentorship significantly changes lives by fostering resilience. Resilience, that wonderful ability to bounce back from or withstand adversity, is fortified in children and young people through consistent, healthy relationships that support their development.
The science shows us that a mentor’s positive impact reverberates through their mentee’s life, guiding their development and building the foundation for happier, healthier adults. The most exciting part of this equation is you. You are the critical element that can help add up to more resilient, confident, and thriving young people. The research is in -and the math makes sense. Now, we need you to help us multiply the impact.
