| Mentoring is important because every child needs a caring adult to do well in school and in life. Children with a mentor feel a sense of connection and have better outcomes at school and with their peers and family. Mentoring also helps them to make better decisions and to avoid risky behavior First Niagara empowers communities to thrive through our Mentoring Matters program. Mentoring Matters is First Niagara’s corporate wide charitable giving program that provides monetary and employee volunteer support to organized mentoring initiatives. Mentoring Matters reinforces the importance of mentoring and the positive impact that it has on today’s young adults. |
