NHRI Current Mentors
We believe an NHRI Leadership Mentoring investment relationship will be very valuable to your child, as well as to your family and community. Here are some testimonies of the value of NHRI from Parents, Leadership Mentor, and Leadership Mentees.
Parent: Kelli Wood, the parent of a Leadership Mentee in Teenage Project
"I want you to know how much we appreciate the program and all it has done for our children. Jeff [her son] returns from their meetings energized and excited to share some of the things they have discussed."
Parent: Tiffany Mickells, parent of multiple Leadership Mentees and Leadership Mentors
“I think we as parents probably learned just as much as our kids did, from the mentors, from the workshops.”
Leadership Mentee: Kim Zamora, Leadership Mentee in LDP Lincoln High Project on her investment relationship with her Leadership Mentor, Lucy.
“I have known Lucy for two years now. Throughout those years, our relationship has grown from mentor and mentee to friends. Lucy is not only an exceptional role model for me, she is the person I can trust for help, whether it is related to school or life. Lucy is hardworking, kind, smart, and an amazing leader. I could not have asked for a better mentor!”
Leadership Mentee: Bruce Claussen, Leadership Mentee in Lux/East Project
“NHRI has really taught me how to build better relationships in my life, to see things from a different perspective and in all just to become a better person. Knowing that there are awesome people older than me that want to spend time with me is great, shows that they care and you can't find a better group of people than the Leadership Mentors in NHRI!”
Leadership Mentor: Laura Perez Villagomez, Leadership Mentor in LDP Lincoln High on her investment relationship with her Leadership Mentee, Idaly.
“Idaly has already imprinted a mark in my heart, and although our NHRI relationship may have come to an end, our friendship will continue to full fruition for many years to come.”
Leadership Mentor: Addy Sellon, Leadership mentor in Teenage Project
“Lean in! NHRI is a lifelong experience, but the time spent as an active mentor is particularly impactful. Enjoy your time and those that you’re spending it with.”
Leadership Mentor: Evan Tessendorf, Leadership Mentor in LDP Lincoln High on his investment relationship with his Leadership Mentee, Lane.
“I have been impressed with Lane's maturity and leadership skills since we first met. Over the past few years, I have had the privilege to witness Lane grow as a leader and strive to achieve his goals. From being a captain on his varsity football and lacrosse teams, president of a club, and maintaining good grades, it has been fun to see him grow and succeed. As Lane continues his leadership journey through college, I have no doubt that he will continue to succeed and inspire everyone around him.”
