"I came to Mount Union College to earn a degree and identify myself and my place in the world. Along the way, a friend introduced me to The Dowling Mentor Program. I was fortunate to always have strong male and female role models in my life, and thought it would be a great experience to help provide this to someone less fortunate. It’s a great feeling to help a child feel better about himself, his situation, and help him establish goals and become a better person. In addition, there are great group activities such as the basketball game, movies, trips to cities, and seeing attractions that give you both a chance to experience something for the first time together. As an educator now, I can’t begin to explain the impact the program has had on my teaching career. It has helped me establish positive relationships with my students, and given me the self satisfaction that comes along with being a positive role model. I highly recommend the program to help enhance your college experience, and give you the values necessary for the real world."
