8
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>and she's with the Helpline Center and we're going to

9
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about becoming a mentor the Sue fifty two Mentoring Initiative.

10
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>This is something that's been going on for a couple

11
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 1>of years and it's a big deal, isn't it.

12
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 2>It is a big deal. Yeah, we're excited to highlight it,

13
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>especially this month because it's National Mentoring Month and just

14
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>to help gain more awareness and to falls about what.

15
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 1>This initiative is and Sue fifty two Mentoring. The concept

16
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is to become a mentor. And the thing that I

17
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>will tell you get more out of it as a

18
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 1>mentor than you put into it at one hundred percent.

19
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee it.

20
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly right. That's something we definitely promote when we

21
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>speak to businesses and we're trying to get individuals to

22
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>sign up is that the benefit of the relationship is

23
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 2>really mutual. The mentees get a lot out of it,

24
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the mentors get a lot out of it. And studies

25
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 2>have shown individual to mentor time to have higher job satisfaction,

26
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>have higher satisfaction in just their life in general as well.

27
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 1>And the thing that is cool, the reason they call

28
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>it SOUE fifty two mentoring Initiative. The concept is to

29
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 1>become a mentor for one hour a week, you would

30
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>spend time with somebody, and that's just fifty two hours

31
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 1>a year. So that's why it's sue fifty two. And

32
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 1>that hour the thing that's crazy, It goes by so

33
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>fast and you look forward to it because it's staying

34
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>much fun.

35
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and our nonprofit partners who are providing these opportunities

36
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>are really great. I'm making sure it stays at an

37
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 2>hour because especially if they're pulling away individuals from their

38
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>job or we realize everyone has crazy busy lives, but

39
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>we truly do feel like every single person can give

40
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>just an hour a week to make a difference in

41
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>someone else's life as well as once you're mentoring an individual,

42
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't just stop there. Oftentimes there's a trickle effect

43
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 2>where that mentee wants to become a mentor themselves, or

44
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>it impacts the mentees families lives as well.

45
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>And if you're looking to maybe get some more information

46
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 1>on this, the helpline Center of Sue Falls, their website

47
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>has it, but you can simply find on the website

48
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Sue five to two meter dot org, so sou fifty

49
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>two meter dot org and on here you can get

50
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>information about different organizations that you can volunteer with. But

51
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 1>there are several organizations that are looking for volunteers to

52
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>become mentors right now, aren't there.

53
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, Yeah, the need is definitely very great in Two Falls,

54
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>especially as this city continues to grow, the need for

55
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 2>mentors just continues to grow as well. Especially in our

56
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>school district. We're noticing that mentoring is declining unfortunately, even

57
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>though we're identifying more and more students that are qualifying

58
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>in our good candidates to have mentors. So we definitely

59
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>want to get the word out about how easy it

60
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>is to get signed up. If you go to su

61
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 2>fifty two dot org, there's a quick form you can

62
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>fill out. We'll get you connected to the mentoring opportunity,

63
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>assist with onboarding, assists with training, and then get you

64
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 2>partnered and how you start mentoring out in the community.

65
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>And there's a bunch of opportunities. I just I'm on

66
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 1>the website now Sue fifty two dot org, Sue and

67
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>then just the numbers five two Sue fifty two dot org,

68
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and I clicked on the program with informations one tab

69
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>for youth programs and other adult and family mentoring and

70
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>other senior programs. So the nice thing is if you're saying,

71
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, I would rather spend time with a senior

72
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>citizen or I'd rather spend time with a child, there's

73
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 1>different opportunities because everybody's probably looking for something a little

74
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 1>different in their life, right.

75
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, absolutely, We totally recognize youth mentoring might not be

76
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 2>for everyone, and so there are so many opportunities to

77
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>mentor a young entrepreneur, someone who's previously incarcerated, a young

78
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 2>single mom, as well as you know, to see your citizen.

79
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Program we have with LSS is a very strong program

80
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>where all mentors get partnered with an individual that is

81
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>over the age of eighty years old. They're maybe feeling

82
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.759
<v Speaker 2>some type of loneliness or isolation and just helping them

83
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 2>combat that site, creating that relationship and being a friend

84
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 2>to that individual.

85
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And again, January is National Mentoring Month, so this month

86
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a little bit more of a focus on letting

87
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 1>people know about this. But this is not just a

88
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>January thing. It's twelve months out of the year and

89
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>there's always an opportunity. So if you're going, well, I'm

90
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>busy right now, I can't do it now, but maybe

91
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>in February I have time to start something like this.

92
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>You could start at any time. Really, yeah, absolutely.

93
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of times two people think are

94
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 2>in school mentoring they have to get signed up before

95
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the school year starts, and that's not true either. They

96
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>can start that at anytime as well as any of

97
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>the other opportunities. They want more mentors, so anytime you

98
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 2>sign up. So we just want to gain the awareness

99
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 2>for the initiatives because it's like you said, someone's gonna

100
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 2>be really busy right now, but they at least know

101
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 2>SU fifty two exist, so that's down the road. They

102
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.519
<v Speaker 2>have the time to volunteer and get a little more

103
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>plugged in the community. They know that this opportunity exists.

104
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, Emily Thank you so much for doing what you
