Please join us for "A Celebration of Connections" on April 23rd, an evening dedicated to honoring the impactful mentors of Children's Mentoring Connection of Hancock County. We extend this invitation not only to our current mentors but also to those who have been a guiding light in the lives of our youth, including foster and adoptive parents, educators, therapists, community members, and all who invest their time and care in shaping the future generation.
As we commemorate 50 years of service to the community, we invite you, our mentors, to celebrate the legacy of impact you have created. Your dedication and compassion have illuminated pathways of hopeand opportunity for countless children in Hancock County.
We also extend this invitation to those who would like to honor the mentors who have positively impacted their lives or the lives of others through mentorship.

Our special guest speaker, Steve Pemberton, will share his inspiring journey of resilience and the transformative power of mentorship. From overcoming the challenges of the foster care system to becoming a successful business executive and advocate, Steve's story exemplifies the profound difference a mentor can make in a young person's life.
