The Sonoma Valley 'Stand By Me' Mentoring Alliance Home Page

MENTORS ARE THE ANSWER!
Mentors help to build character and prepare kids for future success!

Mentoring is a real solution for the tough problems facing many Sonoma Valley children. Mentoring matters, especially when a child comes from poverty, a
cultural divide or violence and drugs at home.

We seek ways to help students find their path to success. A mentor is one significant way to help a child feel valued. Mentoring creates a community of individuals who are making a difference every day!
