Have you ever seen a teen teaching their adult mentor how
to ice skate? Watching kids and
adults fall on the ice and get right back up to try again.
We experienced these and more as well as delicious treats and great
company at the Shamrock Skate provided by Thrivent Financial, on St. Patrick’s
Day, March 17th. Kids ages 5-16 joined their mentors, families, friends and community members at the
Burnsville Ice Center. The
skating arena was full of
laughter and trials as experienced and novice skaters hit the ice. A great
time was had by all! We often hear potential volunteers
saying they want to share their experiences, knowledge & interests with
mentees. When they become
mentors, they discover that they
often learn from their mentees as much or more! The personal growth and fun
experiences are both wonderful benefits, among many, of mentoring a child.
