School-Based Mentoring pairs Mankato area public school students with adult mentors for lunch or other school activities once a week.

For the students, it’s an adult who will listen without judging, talk without preaching and take a genuine interest in how things are going.
In other words, a friend.
For the mentor, it’s making a difference in a child’s life.
