To the Prospective Mentor,

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor with the Marc’d For Greatness Foundation Youth Mentoring Program.
We hope that you will grant permission for your son/daughter to participate in the program.

I founded this organization with the belief that every young person deserves guidance, encouragement, and someone who believes in their potential. Your willingness to invest your time and experiences can make a lasting difference in a young person’s life.

Mentorship is more than giving advice. It’s about building trust, leading by example, and consistently showing up. Our program asks mentors to commit to at least one year, dedicate eight hours per month, and maintain weekly communication with their mentee.

Please review our eligibility requirements and complete the application to begin the process.

Thank you for considering the opportunity to help shape the next generation. Together, we can make a meaningful impact.

Sincerely,

Marc-Eddy Norelia
