We recently received a letter from the foster parent of a little girl in the GRIP program. The foster parent writes,
"Ana and I played "volleyball" together on Thursday and she talked about how you visited her and how much she likes you.
Thank you for all you do. Ana needs to know she is
special and important.
You make her feel that way.
Thanks again,
Thomas
Parents and guardians have to re-sign permission forms for mentees every year. In addition to signing the form, one parent from Ames sent this note:
“Trevor and Alec have gained so much from the GRIP program and
would love to continue having mentors! As a single mother, I appreciate the
time and energy these young men are willing to pour into my sons each week, in
addition to their already busy lives and other commitments. My appreciation
runs very deep and the relationships my sons have gained from the GRIP program
are shaping them and their future!“

A parent from Boone included this note:
My son really enjoys being wit his mentor. I am so glad he can be part of the program!
- Olivia
Mentoring not only impacts the child, but the entire family!
