January is National Mentoring Month and the City of Butler is helping to get the word out about opportunities to be mentors and receive mentorship.
Butler City Mayor Bob Dandoy recently issued a proclamation recognizing the contributions of volunteer mentors as well as local mentoring programs.
One such program is the YMCA Reach and Rise program which offers one-on-one youth mentoring—meaning each child has a sole dedicated mentor.
In order to become a mentor, individuals must be over 21, have their clearances, and complete the training course.
Anyone interested in volunteering to become a mentor can visit the YMCA’s website for more information.
