Great article on the power of mentoring by JTR Fund Scholarship recipient Michael Dominguez (RHS'20)! Michael is a Lehigh University grad who now works as a software developer. In his essay, he credits the professional and personal approach of his JTR mentor, Charlene Fletcher (JTR Board Member and founder of our Mentor program). Michael is now a professional software developer, and invests in others through mentoring.
Well done Michael!

"Mentorship that Matters: My Experience with the James T. Reedy Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund" is the title of latest blog post on the https://www.jtrfund.org/blog that expresses the inspiring testimony of Imani Logan, 2017 graduate of Reading High School (PA) and JTR Scholarship Fund recipient alumna. Imani's desire to give back is now being fulfilled through her role as a JTR Fund Mentor.
Some highlights from the article: Imani's experience as a JTR Mentor has helped her: "improve my leadership skills and given me a new sense of purpose,"... "has been rewarding":.. "improved my leadership skills,"... raised her "empathy and listening skills" and "strengthened her relationships" and enlarged her perspectives."
Currently over two dozen JTR Scholarship Fund recipients are engaged in our Mentor Program. Please support our upcoming awards this coming May, when highly qualified scholars will receive a high-quality computer system and invitation to the JTR Mentor Program, difference makers for these emerging leaders!
Over 200 scholarships awarded since our 2003 inception- thank you!
