“Movement Mentors has been the perfect way to combine my passion for community service with mentoring youth. One moment I'll never forget was a jump rope event where a girl stood off to the side and didn’t want to join. I asked if she wanted to try together, and minutes later she was jumping in the circle with everyone else. Experiences like that remind me that sometimes all it takes is one mentor to change a child’s experience with movement.”
– Khushi Patel, Movement Mentors President
