100 Mentor in 100 Days Campaign Launches on Father’s Day

Growing Kings, a leading youth mentoring organization, is launching its annual 100 Mentors in100 Days mentor recruitment campaign. The initiative, set to commence on Father’s Days, aims to recruit and train one hundred dedicated mentors in one-hundred days to positively impact the lives of underserved boys and young men in Birmingham City Schools.

Growing Kings recognizes the critical role that mentors play in shaping the lives of young individuals and believes that every child deserves a supportive and empowering mentor figure. Through this ambitious campaign, Growing Kings seeks to expand its network of mentors and amplify its impact, creating a brighter future for the youth in the Birmingham community.

Father’s Day, celebrated this year on June 18th, is an ideal occasion to launch this campaign, as it serves as a powerful reminder of the positive influence that fathers, father figures, and mentors have in the lives of young children. With 85% of program participants being raised in single-parent households, the organization recognizes the importance to emphasize the impact positive male role models can have on a young person’s life.

“We [Growing Kings] believe that it’s important to rally our communities and engage individuals on this significant day,” says Quamauri Hardy, Growing Kings Advocacy and Outreach Manager. “Like many, I have been blessed to have the support and guidance of mentors at various stages of my life. There’s no better way to pay those blessings forward than by signing up to become a mentor on Father’s Day.”

Becoming a mentor with Growing Kings offers a rewarding experience, allowing individuals to forge meaningful connections, instill confidence, and impart valuable life skills on young boys. Growing Kings mentors receive comprehensive training, ongoing support, and resources to ensure a successful and fulfilling mentoring journey.

Growing Kings invites all interested individuals who are passionate about making a difference to sign up. By becoming a mentor, you can play a vital role in transforming the lives of young boys and fostering positive change in our community.
