Thank you for your Leadership!
The Atlanta Metro Chapter is so thankful for it’s mentors and their passion for guiding students. We are proud to have many outstanding members of the community mentoring students for a significant amount of years. To show our appreciation, we want to honor them and introduce them to you! Through their consistency, intentionality, and great example, kids in our communities are exposed to life changing leadership. Here are some honorable mentor mentions.
- Ida Adkins (14 Years). “Being involved with Teach One to Lead One has literally changed my life. The program and the staff challenged me to grow in many ways, to have a passion for young people, and to lead with humility and encouragement. I know T1L1.
- Betty Tatham (13 Years). “We are enthusiastically greeted with cheers and hugs each week. Watching the kids learn universal principles and having them share how they are applying them to their lives is so exciting and rewarding to each of us! As mentors, we feel so blessed to be apart of this program!”
- Sheri Young (12 Years). “Since 2008, I have mentored and continue to mentor in the Cherokee County Juvenile Courts, became a foster parent, and entered the workplace as a Social Worker. 12 years later, our kids have grown and moved out of the house and my husband, Jim, has joined me with Teach One to Lead One in the Cherokee Juvenile Courts. Together we are passionate about standing in the gap for kids who are at-risk and committed to serving them in whatever capacity God would have us.”
- Jenn Hanna (11 Years). “I have always had a passion for helping students succeed and develop into productive young people. I cannot imagine not being a part of something so rewarding for myself and the kids. The program changed MY life and in turn, hopefully I was able to make a small difference in all of these precious kids.”
- Brent Vicars (10 Years). “Teach One to Lead One has allowed me to make a difference in our community that goes way beyond a 13 week course. It affects these kids for the rest of their lives. It is an hono.
- Jane Johnson (8 Years). “I have grown so much as a mentor. I think about decisions I make and how I will either have an example of how I used universal principles or how I have failed and need to learn from those failures.”
- Porshia Carter (8 Years). “As a (3 time) T1L1 graduate, I never would have thought I would mentor for the program, lead alone for 8 years. Teach one to Lead one was a formative part in my adolescence and has now become a critical part of my adulthood.”
- Tammy Nielson (7 Years). “One of the highlights of my week takes place on Wednesday mornings serving as a Teach One to Lead One mentor. This opportunity is one that encourages and equips students for positive life change and I’m thankful to be a part of such an intentional program!”
