Review for Youth Mentoring Connection, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I volunteered to be a mentor through the YMC program at Warner Bros. My experience has far exceeded my expectations. The kids we work with really reflect the accomplishment of YMC's mission - no matter what their circumstances in life they are happy, focused, goal-oriented, moving forward and bettering their lives and the lives of their families, committed and fun to be with. Our meetings every two weeks include one-on-one time as well as great exercises to get to know one another and to understand ourselves and each other, learn self-expression, and develop our own skills. I adore the mentor they matched to me, which also shows YMC's knowledge and experience. The staff is resourceful, supportive, intuitive, dedicated and authentically loving. This is a blast!

Every interaction with my mentee and with other youth and people dedicated to serving youth. My relationship with my mentee extends beyond our meetings and it is such a blessing to be there to listen whenever he needs. He has taught me so much, too, in not letting obstacles get in our way.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
No changes - just know more funding for them would help expand their reach.
