"For years, I heard the call for more mentors in our community and nodded along in agreement. Mentoring was good. 'People should do that,' I thought, and then I didn't sign up.

Last fall, my mindset changed: If we want an engaged, generous community, we must recognize it isn’t someone else’s job. It’s ours. And, in that moment, I realized, it’s mine.

That realization didn’t just change how I approached mentoring, it changed how I thought about the role of the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation."
