Mentoring matters- Catching up with CIS Durham

At our last After Work Social, we had the pleasure to meet some inspirational young men who work with CIS Durham through its Brother To Brother’s monthly mentoring breakfast. This program allows for younger students to learn from those older mentors who have successfully overcome adversity to realize their potential.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqbMOuB0DD8Adrian Dorsey, 17, a Hillside High School senior who participates in the monthly program said, “I want these young men to know that there are older kids doing what they’re supposed to do in the classroom.I’m helping out someone who’s younger than me, to see something positive ahead of them.”Read the full blog post here.back to top
