telling the wonderful success stories we hear from volunteers, from Little<br />

<strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>and</strong> from their families.”<br />

ideas/thoughts <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong>. I know many youth on my case load lean on their mentors<br />

to get advice on how to navigate through school, sticky family situations <strong>and</strong><br />

make healthy dating choices.<br />

myself than when kids come running up to me to say hello!”<br />
