A Mentoring Breakfast held in Traverse City was part of an ongoing effort to improve mentoring programs in Northwest Michigan. The event was organized by the Traverse Bay Poverty Reduction Initiative (PRI). "One on one relationships is what it's all about," said Jim Rowlett, PRI Co-chairman. "That's how we help people make progress and succeed."
Representatives from a variety of organizations with mentoring programs attended the breakfast. A similar meeting last fall kicked off the effort to have those organizations work together to help each other. This meeting included a presentation by Michigan State University Extension Mentoring Specialist Lisa Bottomley. She talked about a variety of resources that are available to help organizations develop effective mentoring programs.
