All of us recall the many important individuals who have supported, motivated and encouraged us during our lives. These people were our mentors and served as coaches and advocates helping us to become the people we are today. Much research is available which points to the tremendous benefits of mentoring, and in an effort to bring this positive aspect to Vacaville PAL I am excited to announce that Vacaville PAL was one of 133 PAL's across the nation to receive a Mentoring Grant through National PAL. This program will have a mandatory participation span of 11 months.
