Mentor-to-Mentor
With the warmer weather, spring into action by planning a fun outing with your mentee.
Our mentor of the month, Bill Harris, put together this list of things to do in Howard County, including parks, hikes, community events, museums, and more. Share it with your mentee and let’s hear about the ways you’re building relationships and community.
In addition to being a mentor, Bill is our new Village Coordinator at Oakland Mills High School.
Have something to share with other mentors? We want to feature you in our next mentor-to-mentor column.
