Did you know that January is National Mentoring Month? Meet Nakia, one of our outstanding trained mentors!
🥰🥰🥰
Nakia works at the US Census Bureau and is the owner of EntityHR, an online coaching and training company. Nakia was familiar with #LifeTies from her time at The College of New Jersey and has extensive experience volunteering with organizations that support youth development.
.
Nakia has been mentoring a 19-year-old youth, Jessica* (name changed for privacy) for a year. They have enjoyed their time together attending community events at the library, ice skating, and shopping. During COVID they continued to develop their relationship through texting and video chats.
.
Jessica noted how much she has learned from Nakia which has been invaluable. “She worked on one of my big goals with me and that is being more comfortable being out in public. I have multiple people that I can confide in, but I’m more comfortable doing that with her. She really helps me with my anxiety. She has a lot of confidence and encourages me to do the same.”
.
Nakia reflected on how much she too has learned from the relationship. “We have developed a good relationship and formed a bond that I hope will continue even when LifeTies is no longer involved.”
.
We want to thank Nakia and all of our amazing mentors that work with our youth. If you are interested in more info about being a LifeTies mentor, email us at volunteer@lifeties.org💌
