The Power of Mentoring

We believe every young person deserves someone in their corner. Too many young people are facing increasing isolation, mental health challenges, trauma, fewer supportive adult relationships. But research shows that having a mentor can have a ripple effect that lasts generations.

Amy Perry from Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Hampshire & Vermont will share with the Williston Rotary Club about the Power of Mentoring. Having a strong mentoring relationship can give a young person confidence, help them make healthier choices and encourage them to stay engaged in school and further their education. Mentoring can have a huge impact on the mentors and the community, as well, creating a ripple that last generations.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of NH & VT is a nonprofit organization that creates and supports life-changing mentoring relationships that help young people realize their full potential. We connect young people ages 6 to 18 throughout both states with caring mentors. And we provide the support behind those relationships to help them thrive. We aren’t just creating a match, we are focusing on creating safe, supported, quality relationships. 

Amy Perry is the Director of Development & Partnerships with Big Brothers Big Sisters of NH & VT. She is focused on raising awareness about the power of mentoring in Vermont, building deep, powerful and dynamic relationships with individuals, corporations and business partners, and sharing with them the importance of human connection and how it can impact communities for generations.
