Mentors Needed in Nashville!

Do you have a couple of hours a week that you could dedicate to an at-risk child or teen? There are several fantastic organizations that offer mentoring opportunities. Below are just two examples of programs that are in great need of committed individuals!


Monroe Harding is in need of mentors for their Project S.H.A.R.E. program. It’s just one hour a week with an elementary age child at their school. The time may be spent working on homework, playing a game, having lunch, or just hanging out and being a friend to the child.

If interested, contact Laquita Harrison
