- Mentorship: We all have heard the saying, “It takes a village.” Our youth today are regularly faced with challenges and pressure from peers, social media, academics and mental health. Some of these challenges require professional help but many can be calmed/ overcome by our collective efforts and support to encourage our youth and help them to make good choices and grow into great citizens within their schools and their communities. Mentorship makes this possible and godly mentorship can be even more rewarding. If you are interested in helping our youth, whether those entails helping someone with homework, taking a group hiking, fishing or camping or simply going out for coffee, tea, bubble tea or window shopping in the mall, please contact Robert or Davina Lausen. Note: anyone who volunteers to help must complete a background check.
