Becoming a Mentor
"I love watching the students grow. You see them at the beginning of the year—shy—then branching out until, by year's end, they are comfortable speaking in front of an audience." --PACTS Mentor
	Adult mentors play a vital role in PACTS. Mentors from all types of career backgrounds assist in the development and growth of the youth in the program. You too could be a mentor!
