Happy Mentoring Month!<\/h3>\n

As a core focus of YWCA Cortland, our youth mentoring services, Bridges for Kids and GEMS (Girls: Empowered, Motivated, and Successful), have been able to provide support, guidance, and opportunities to help Cortland area youth succeed in life and achieve their goals!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
We thank all the incredible mentors who have come through the YWCA and formed long-lasting, stable, and supportive relationships with their mentees, as well as every person who has volunteered their time or supported this program with donations of school supplies, food, holiday gifts, and so much more.<\/div>\n
