Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours Check

 1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

I am working with an organization called Planet Rehab. We educate people on environmental issues through the volunteers we receive on Saturday mornings. We also use our events as opportunities to educate people, as well as raising money in order to feed the animals we hold.

 2.   Who is your contact?

My contact is Gary C. Mitchel. He is the founder of Planet Rehab and my mentor. I chose him because he is very educated on the environment. Planet Rehab has a huge goal that we call the "Rainforest Initiative," which would allow us to purchase part of the rainforest in order to protect it from human expansion.

 3.   How many  hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).

I have done thirty hours throughout the school year. I usually go to Planet Rehab early before our meetings to do my mentorship hours.

 4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.

I do my mentorship hours on Tuesday nights when we have our craft nights. I tend to go earlier to get more one-on-one with Gary. We usually speak to each other about new statistics on rainforest destruction as well as what has been going on worldwide. He informs me on what California is doing to try and help out environment. Gary has also spoken to me about our plan to sponsor tours to Costa Rica, where we could gain lots of publicity as well as profit for the organization. This will also us to be able to get a step closer to our Rainforest Initiative.
