About HUDSON Mentoring
At HUDSON Mentoring we believe in the power of mentors to change lives. To help people achieve their goals and achieve them faster. Many of us have been lucky enough to have a mentor.
A high school teacher who sees what you could be, or
A parent who believes in you. or
A boss who really invests in your talent.
It’s powerful and life-changing. Everyone deserves a mentor like that. Let’s make it happen.
Moving Forward
This area of our work helps people move forward into a different chapter of their lives.
Our mentors have been there, done it, bought the t-shirt, taken over the t-shirt company, and turned it into a multi-million dollar franchise.
They’ll show you what worked for them, what didn’t and help you move forward with purpose and power. This part of our work is heavily subsidized. It’s our way of giving back.
When you get a mentor, you also help pay for a mentor for someone transitioning from the military, peace corps, or for an underprivileged student leaving college. This is the premise and promise on which we are established.
