Sarah Shaver speaks with Erin Given, Executive Director of The Paper City Mentoring Project (PCMP) in Chillicothe, Ohio. PCMP matches teenagers in Ross County with mentors to help them build a future in the face of challenges teens in our society have not faced before and create a positive ripple effect for future generations. Given explains this unique project and the coffee shop that serves as a meeting space were created by two teachers who saw teens needed a consistent positive adult presence in their lives. PMCP also hosts workshops on valuable life skills from budgeting to changing a tire. (papercitymentoringproject.org)
