MENTEE NAME: Brandon Clark

MENTOR NAME: Pete Apicella

Brandon and Pete have been matched since the beginning of 2006. For over 15 months, they have been meeting at school regularly, engaging in activities they both enjoy.

The pictures at right were taken during their weekly mentoring sessions and during a chance encounter at the Pumpkin Chucking Festival.

Pete has chosen to "give back to the world" by sharing his varied interests with Brandon. Their activities have incuded music, board games, school work, and talking about topics ranging from academics to pop culture.

Brandon brings enthusiasm to all that he does and eagerly waits for Pete each week. Attending community events and showing up for his mentoring session, Brandon has become an exemplar mentee.
