As parents, we want to be everything for our kid’s protector, provider, guide, and cheerleader however here’s the truth. Sometimes, the most powerful voice in a teenager’s life isn’t ours. It’s someone outside the family, a mentor.
Think back to your own teen years, was there someone besides your parents who truly saw you? A coach, a teacher, a neighbour? That one person who believed in you even when you doubted yourself?
That’s the power of mentorship.
One parent shared this about her son with us: “He never really opened to us, but when he met his mentor through our program, everything changed. He had someone to talk to—someone who just listened. His confidence skyrocketed.”
Mentors don’t replace parents—they reinforce the values you’re already instilling. They offer a fresh perspective, especially during those years when teens start pulling away from home as they form their own identity.
And it’s not just anecdotal. According to MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, teens with mentors are 55% more likely to enrol in college, 78% more likely to volunteer regularly, and more than twice as likely to hold leadership positions.
At Emms Tutor and Mentor, we’ve seen firsthand how life changing mentorship can be. Our programs goes beyond tutoring; we focus on real connection, emotional support, and building lasting relationships with teens. Whether it’s academic guidance or life skills development, our mentors walk alongside young people as role models, motivators, and trusted guides.
