Mentors for Martin is presenting a free event for anyone who is involved in mentoring or would like to become a mentor.

Author and instructor Robert Petro will lead “A Mind Journey to Mentoring,” discussing his own experiences in mentoring and presenting information about the “Tell Your Mentor” interactive self-discovery software program.

The event will be 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Wolf High-Technology Center on the IRCC Chastain Campus, Salerno Road, Stuart.

Admission is free, but RSVP in advance to Shannon Midkiff, (772) 220-4472, ext. 228 or smidkiff@martinvolunteers.org.

“This seminar is a valuable opportunity if you are a mentor or think you would like to become a mentor,” said Shannon Midkiff, volunteer services coordinator for the United Way Volunteer & Community Resource Center (VCRC).

Petro’s books include “Windspirit: The Making of a Medicine Man,” in which a mentor leads a defiant young Native American man toward the fulfillment of his life’s dream. In “Book of Secrets,” Petro draws upon his own rough beginnings to craft a colorful tale set in Mexico at the turn-of-the-century that reveals secrets for attaining true success.

The “Tell Your Mentor” software program helps people identify personal problems, explore options and learn skills necessary to create their own solutions.

Prospective and current mentors will be able to ask questions and network with representatives of local mentoring organizations. Refreshments will be served.

The event is being presented by Mentors for Martin, a collaborative of local agencies dedicated to promoting quality mentoring. More information can be found at www.martinvolunteers.org/mentors.
