“It means more than words can express to know that our community has organizations like the Marion Community Foundation that recognize the value of investing in our youth and understand just how much programs like Marion Mentors matter. This program is about so much more than matching a mentor with a student. It’s about building relationships, providing encouragement, creating opportunities, and ensuring our young people have someone in their corner who believes in them and wants to see them succeed.” –Toy Pendleton, Marion Mentors
