Mentors can make a huge difference in young people’s lives. Especially when they don’t have supportive relationships at home, or when they feel like the adults in their life don’t show up for them.
In this inspiring interview, our very own Joy Thomas asks her friend Jessica Fonseca how mentors have impacted her life.
