Why I Mentor

Oklahomans in every corner of the state are volunteering time each week to make a difference in a child's life. The Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence has asked some of these mentors to share their experiences.

If you would like to share your mentoring story, e-mail Dayna Rowe or call (405) 236-0006.
