The First Tee loves National Mentoring Month!
Why?
Because there are more than 17,000 mentors and volunteers
in our network we get to celebrate all month!
In a recent national report called The Mentoring Effect, young people who were at-risk for not completing high school but who had a mentor were 55 percent more likely to be enrolled in college than those who did not have a mentor. They were also:
81% more likely to report participating regularly in sports or extracurricular activities.
- 78% more likely to volunteer regularly in their communities.
- More than twice as likely to say they held a leadership position in a club or sports team.
- This same report found that one in three young people in our country will grow up without a mentor.
