“I would like to mentor a young person because I think young people are so full of potential! It is so rewarding to see a young person be true to themselves and their values when they are faced with so many external pressures. I would also like to be someone that they can count on. Who shows up. Who listens and respects them and empathises with their challenges. Who shows them unconditional positive regard, no matter what they may be expressing." - 2024 Raise Mentor
