Cynthia Harris wanted to give back to the Community by assisting a youth in need of a mentor. The volunteer started out in the School Based program but felt she could do more by becoming a community based mentor. She focuses on introducing youth to new experiences and improving with academic and school performance. She uses her professional skills to teach the youth social skills.
The youth, Mia Davis, was very shy and needed assistance with school performance. Mia openly talks to Cynthia, expresses herself more, and enjoys learning new activities. The youth has greatly improved in her academic performance. The two have been matched for almost four years. They both have thoroughly enjoyed their relationship.
