wanted and needed: mentors

I am currently working on a persuasive speech for one of my classes. It was not difficult to come up with a topic. I definately want to persuade my class to become mentors. As I researched mentoring, I discovered that the results of mentoring an at-risk youth is priceless!! We all know that our city, CMD, has plenty of at-risk youth. One of the most astonishing pieces of information that I found out was that 3 million young people in America identified as needing mentors and. I say adults and children alike, high, low, or moderate risk, all could benefit from a mentor. But the youth are our future. I challage anyone to give a youngin something you may or may not of had.
