Omega Mentoring
The men of Upsilon Tau Chapter support a wonderful little league team full of perseverance in Middletown, NY
Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter. Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on young people in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations. Ultimately, mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunity. Yet one in three young people will grow up without this critical asset. We are assisting several mentoring programs in the area to ensure they succeed.
