What the marathon means to me
April 16th 2012 is going to be the most special day of my life to date. I am especially motivated by the excitement of knowing that my run will benefit a variety of youth programs that need the funding.
More Mass Mentoring Partnership
180+outstanding programs funded http://www.massmentors.org/qualitymembership
*In 2011, there are approximately 2,700 children on program waiting lits in need of a mentor and the average time spent on waiting lists is a minimum of 6-12 months due to an inadequate number of volunteers.
*50% of youth in Massachusetts who drop out of high school come from low-income families and research demonstrates that mentoring has significant positive effects on two early indicates of high school dropouts- high levels of absenteeism and recurring behavior problems.
*Within the 10 largest urban communities in Massachusetts there are over 52,000 young people living in single-parent households and in poverty. These kids need the guidance of a mentor to reach their dreams.
