The Validating Mentor

by Gail A. Cassidy

Two-time Academy Award winning actor and director, Denzel Washington, attributes his success to his childhood mentor. As he says, "You don't go it alone." Learn what it takes to help another person find his worth or her path in life. Be there to listen, encourage, support, nudge, and find strengths in your mentoree. Validating Mentoring means making a difference in the world socially, financially, and spiritually. Social unrest is lessened when a person feels accepted and directed. The tax burden is reduced when fewer "at risk" teens and young adults are incarcerated. The spiritual rewards of making a difference in someone's life are immeasurable. Experience the joy of helping someone find hope, purpose, and direction. Watch your mentoree grow and find independence and success in life. If you want to change the world, start by changing the life of a child. It only takes one!
