Need for Mentors

Do you enjoy mentoring young people? Do you need help around the house – or just companionship? The Partnering for Eternity (PFE) Scholarship Program has been helping cultivate relationships between mentors and students at SDA schools since 2006, with the goal of creating intergenerational relationships. Mentors receive a one-hour weekly visit from a child, who is accompanied by a parent/guardian. The child receives mentorship from you and a PFE scholarship to help with school tuition. If you are interested in serving as a mentor, please contact the church office.
