School ends and gleeful students tumble out of school. After a few days, however, “I’m bored” becomes a common refrain. We said it ourselves when we were kids. Some of us might remember being home alone while the adult(s) in the family were at work.
There are 17 children of all ages in Talbot County who are on the waiting list to be matched with an adult mentor. Many are home most days in the summer while adults work. Some live with elderly grandparents struggling to raise them, and still others could just use a little extra adult TLC in their lives.
What a great way to relive the fun parts of childhood while giving back to a child! You won’t say, “I’m bored.” The rewards are endless…smiles, laughter, photos, new experiences, memories, fun!
To find out about mentoring, attend one of the Talbot Mentors Infosessions. The next sessions are: July 11 and September 12 @ 4:30 at Eastern Shore Conservation Center, 114 S. Washington St., Easton.
