S2 Episode 18: Laura Ward on the Power of Mentorship

 

Around 50% of students in Kent County report that they don’t have somebody in their life with whom they can talk about something important. Affinity Mentoring works to change that by matching students with a caring adult mentor. We sat down with Executive Director Laura Ward to discuss how this positive relationship can help improve students’ academic achievements, social skills and self-esteem. Take a listen to learn more about why the work Affinity Mentoring is doing has led them to being a finalist for this year’s Non-Profit of the Year at the EPIC Awards!
