Mentoring Matters 5K

The Mentoring Matters 5K, hosted by Follow My Steps, a Springfield-based nonprofit, focuses on raising awareness for mentorship needs in under-resourced communities. Participants can join individually or in teams with an option to fundraise. A virtual option allows individuals to choose their activity and join remotely. Follow My Steps offers youth mentoring, career development, and financial resources, aiming to provide valuable life and career skills to under-resourced young people. Through mentorship, students are inspired to pursue leadership roles, higher education, and community involvement. This initiative helps build a network of individuals committed to giving back to their communities.
