Hello all!
SMILES (SouthCoast Mentoring Initiative for Learning Education and Service) is a school based mentoring program whose mission is to help children realize their personal and educational potential through a large scale one-to-one mentoring effort.
SMILES Mentoring is excited to be starting this blog and we hope that all of you will read along, post comments and forward this blog to all who would be interested in joining us! We'll be keeping you updated on SMILES events, field trips, program openings and lots more interesting happenings. For current mentors, we're hoping this will supplement and enhance your mentoring experience. For others interested in the goings on we're hoping to give you a glimpse on how great our SMILES volunteers and students are in hopes that you'll want to join us in the near future!
Stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteI think a blog is a great idea! I have been involved in SMILES for 1 1/2 years and have 2 Mentee's. One, whom I've moved up with to Big Friends/Little Friends. I look forward to my weekly session! I love the look on my Mentee's face when I walk in. I enjoy hearing about his week. In one year we have become very close, I am starting to feel myself wondering everyday how he's doing. Get involved, it's very rewarding!
