Robyn Watson
Mentor
|
Why I volunteered:

Why I volunteered:
I know how important it is to have someone else to talk to outside of the family when theres lots happening in a young persons life that they have to deal with.
Benefits I get from mentoring:
- Giving opportunities and new experiences to my mentee and seeing their response, good and bad.
- Seeing a happy child/young person.
- Having fun and doing things I probably wouldn't do otherwise.
