Where possible, mentoring is included in all we do and support. Our foundation became involved in the National CARES business of \u201csecuring a generation of children\u201d through mentoring in 2008 with our partnership with the National CARES Mentoring Movement. We helped establish Memphis CARES Mentoring Movement and we also partner with Atlanta CARES Mentoring Movement. Our foundation\u2019s experience with mentoring has taught us that mentoring is rooted and grounded in love for children by adults who are open and able to accept and care for children.<\/h5>\n<h5>Love is indispensable in a mentoring relationship, love that\u2019s constant with behaviors that affirm and celebrate children, who they are, wherever they are. Acceptance means we are willing to be \u201cpresent\u201d and to always listen to children. Mentoring in this way helps us bring out the innate essence of childrenso that they can learn to love themselves. And at the same time they recognize that others will accept them. Acceptance is an important characteristic of mentoring; you can\u2019t fake it, it has to be genuine and authentic. Authenticity sounds complex but indeed it is simple, it means that in the process of being connected to another, especially a child, there is this touching of two spirits recognizing that deep down \u201cI am because we are.\u201d\u00a0<br \/>\u200b\u200b<br \/>Love, acceptance and caring can work together to begin, sustain, and grow mentoring relationships that can last a life time. I encourage all adults to take the initiative, whatever your age or station in life, to be a positive force in children\u2019s lives.\u00a0 Become a mentor, help recruit mentors, contribute your time, talents, and treasures to organizations working on children\u2019s behalf. Remember you are a role model that can also be a mentor for children. Most of all, know that mentoring is a calling that if rooted in the spirit of self- love and love for others can transform children\u2019s lives.<br \/>\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u200bIf you are interested in mentoring, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caresmentoring.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.caresmentoring.org<\/a> for more information.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-rJbPeRDJln.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-rJbPeRDJln.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-rJbPeRDJln > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-rJbPeRDJln > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-rJbPeRDJln > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-rJbPeRDJln > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-rJbPeRDJln.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-rJbPeRDJln.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-rJbPeRDJln.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-SJvxAwkx3 .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 25px 0px 27px 0px;}.tatsu-SJvxAwkx3 .tatsu-section-offset-wrap{transform: translateY(-0px);}.tatsu-SJvxAwkx3 > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-SJvxAwkx3 > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-SJvxAwkx3 .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/mentoring\/\" class=\"more-link style1-button\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-25","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":391,"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25\/revisions\/391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackrosefoundation.org\/brfc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
