One of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences you can have is by being a mentor to our kids. You can offer a lot to a child - your time and attention. Being a mentor is about spending quality time with a child, enjoying all sorts of activities together. Love and affection you shower on child help them to gain more confidence, raise their self-esteem and look forward to a bright future.

You may like to teach them English grammar, Hindi and Math. Some of you can take singing and music classes - both classical and popular. Many of our children like to draw and paint. We need some of you to help them become better artists. You can read out interesting and inspiring stories to children, biographies and your own life experiences, play carroms or teach them chess etc. You can take children out to movies, local amusement parks and public places like the zoo or the Birla Mandir. There is no end to what you can teach and learn from a kid.

There are distinct advantages of volunteering. Youth who volunteer are less likely to engage in risky behaviour, are more likely to feel connected to their communities, and tend to do better in studies and workplace. Sharing your skills and talent can provide organizations like SPHOORTI with talent normally unaffordable to hire. Not only could you reap the benefits from making new contacts but you will feel good making a difference to a child's life.
