We know that the world would not have progressed to where it is without our mentors and critical thinkers. The mentoring approach inspires ownership among students inside and outside the classroom, building trust in others and developing positive self-esteem, which can be critically lacking in many of today's challenged youngsters. By providing a solid framework, mentoring creates synergy among the participants so that everyone involved is enriched in the process. Students need to be creative, flexible risk-takers who welcome responsibility and accountability. Teachers need to get results, develop people, and make the most of the human resources found in every community. We need people who can think, people who can lead, and people who can work as part of a team -- all skills that are addressed by making the connection between education and experiential learning. An overwhelming sense of mentoring camaraderie is helping communities pull together and accomplish things they never thought possible.
