New Horizons match Jimmy and Kevin just had an emotional closing meeting, as they reached the end of their one-year commitment!

“Because of him, I can speak English,” Kevin said.

Jimmy built a strong friendship not only with Kevin, but with Kevin’s entire family. Kevin’s parents shared they are so grateful for the improvement they’ve seen in their son’s confidence, self-esteem, and mental health in the past year.

Jimmy shared the most rewarding part of mentoring was “forming a relationship with a new family, not only the mentee.”

So proud of this incredible pair! It was an honor to have this family in our program.

You might make a great mentor, too! For more information, reach out to Rachel Van Dyke at rvandyke@archlou.org.
