Be a mentor to teens in need

To the editor: My teenagers will enter the adult world within the next few years.

I am grateful they will have the support of family and friends to ask for advice as they face new and challenging decisions.

Unfortunately, there are foster teens here in Brunswick County who will age-out of the foster care system and enter the often frightening world without a support system.

They will need help, just as we all did, to transition into the real adult world and become productive citizens.

You can help change the future of one of these teens by becoming a WAVES 4 K.I.D.S. mentor. A few hours a month can help promote a teen’s success as an adult. You will receive free training and the continuing support of a professional and caring staff.
