Enjoy canoeing or kayaking? Take Sara with you!

Summer is the perfect time for being out on the lake! It's also a great time to start mentoring with so many fantastic outdoor activities you can do with a youth!   You can mentor as an individual, a couple, or a family and all it takes is an hour a week doing hobbies and sports and things you might already be doing or trying new things together.  Scheduling is flexible and there are almost 50 children currently waiting for a mentor like Sara below.
