There is so much the world needs that we can’t do, Teton Mentoring provides an opportunity for us to do what we can by providing a match that can develop into more than just mentoring; it can become a relationship that will last for years, and best of all, mentoring keeps you young.

I have a student who has had a mentor for couple of years now- everytime he does something with his mentor, he comes and finds me around school, just to tell me about it. It’s one of the few times I see him smile that huge!

Being a mentor is a hugely gratifying and rewarding experience. It’s a rare opportunity to build a relationship with someone outside of your normal circle of friends and colleagues, introducing you to a whole different side of the Jackson community…I highly recommend becoming a mentor to anyone interested in getting more involved in our community and making a huge impact on the life of a young person.

The change in the kids with mentors is visible. I see them walk a little taller in the hallway. When someone makes a commitment to a kid the kid feels more valued because the have someone they can count on, takes time to be together and values the time spent together.

— Marilyn Paul, Elementary School Counselor

Kids are super excited to see their mentors. There is an emotional connection that goes both ways- mentors are excited to spend time with their mentees.

Teton Mentor Project is a vital program in our community that need not only to continue but to expand to high school aged students. To accomplish this, community support is necessary.

Working in a public middle school, I have seen the Teton Mentor Project positively affect the lives of many of our students.

I hear students brag about their mentors on a daily basis and tell stories of the things that they do together–students who ordinarily struggle to make friends or sometimes get lost in the crowd.
