Cambridge Family & Children's Service

At the MENtoring Event with CFCS mentors

I am so happy to announce that I will be partnering with Cambridge Family and Children's Service to promote my platform, ADOPT: Adoption Depends on Positive Thinking. I was adopted from Changsha, China when I was two years old. Since I was given a second chance at a better life, I believe it is my time to pay it forward.  I want to spread adoption awareness throughout the Cambridge community and Greater Boston Area. I will also be supporting the overall mission of CFCS, which is to "serve children and strengthen families."

Sophie speaks about mentor requirments

CFCS offers: adoption, developmental disabilities, intensive foster care, and residential services. It also has a volunteer mentoring program and helps with family support and stabilization.

On Friday night, I went to a Latino MENtoring event hosted by CFCS. The purpose of this gathering was to encourage men, and especially bilingual men, to become mentors. (Watch this video to learn more about the mentorship program at CFCS:  Mentor Video.) CFCS matches mentors with youth in the community. I would higlhy encourage anyone who can to become a mentor. As soon as I turn 21, I am signing up to mentor a child. I want to help enhance a life and brighten a child's future. The mentorship program is always looking for new adult volunteers. Why not take the opportunity to make a new friend?
