Sonoma Index Tribune:
You can give a local child a priceless gift this year by volunteering to be a mentor in the highly successful Stand By Me Mentoring Program. It takes only one hour a week devoted to one-on-one interaction with a local student, yet it can work wonders in that child's life.
More than 300 Sonoma Valley adults are volunteering their time, each for an hour a week, each for a different child, yet there still is a long list of children who are hoping that they too will receive the gift of their very own mentor.
Mentors receive training and support from the Mentoring Alliance, and the knowledge that what they are giving is truly making a difference in the life of a local child.
Many local business owners are also not only allowing their employees to take time off from work one hour a week to be a mentor, but also paying them, as though they were still on the job.
Wrap this gift to a child up by calling mentoring director Kathy Witkowicki at 707-996-6843 today.
