Dan Holin has asked that I resend out this email regarding a mentoring opportunity through
Hello Friend of
I have mentored a
my mentoring experience; the experience has also helped me model philanthropy for my
children and helped my children better value what they often take for granted. Our
Road Lowell program has now committed to identifying 22 women and men who are interested
in mentoring a Greater Lowell youth. I am writing to you in the hopes that you would consider
becoming a mentor.
This mentorship opportunity is provided in collaboration with CTI YouthBuild Lowell.
YouthBuild provides disadvantaged youth looking to improve their lives with educational,
job-training, and leadership opportunities; CTI YouthBuild Lowell is a member of this highly
successful and well regarded national organization. The mentorship period will begin this
October and take place over 15 months, with the mentor meeting with the mentee twice monthly
for up to two hours per meeting. The youth who participate in this program are largely from
urban and underserved communities, are incredibly motivated and compelling and have been
carefully screened.
Mentoring with YouthBuild is perfect for someone who would like to engage with a terrific
and deserving young person, but prefers a proven and structured program and a time-limited
relationship; CTI YouthBuild Lowell will provide training, activity suggestions and ongoing
support for mentors and mentees;
share and reflect on their experiences with other mentors.
Please scroll below to view testimonials of a mentor and recent YouthBuild graduates and some
FAQs we thought you may find helpful.
We need to identify mentors by the end of August. Let me know ASAP if you have any
questions; if you are interested in attending an informational meeting or a personal
meeting with our YouthBuild liaison I will be more than willing to set it up. Please consider forwarding this message to someone else who may be interested!
Thank you for your consideration of this opportunity.
Dan Holin
Executive Director

GulfCoastWorks (gulfcoastworks.org) will rebuild a home in conjunction with the St Bernard Project (stbernardproject.org) this fall. We would like to invite you to join us for a week of work, satisfaction, and fun.
At the present we have planned three trips, departing on October 2, 9, and 16.
The trip beginning on Oct 9 coincides with the St Bernard Project women's work week. Since we will be working on our house, men are invited as well but preference will be given to teams of women who want to collaborate on a very meaningful project.
To assist us with the planning and coordination of these trips, we ask that you let us know of your intent (what week you’d like to join us) by August 31st. Over the next month we will be sure to get back to you to answer questions, discuss specifics, and begin a connection that will help us to bring these groups together.
We also welcome any group that would like to participate.
We look forward to hearing from you! Thanks
