My Experience as a Mentor: Changing Lives…

We are pleased to feature Corey Raths of Missoula who volunteered his time to teach four consecutive YE classes at Porter Middle School’s Flagship after-school program. Corey, a fourth generation Montana man and former University of Montana football player, is a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch.

Corey’s students have started a variety of businesses including Delicious Doggy Desserts, Zilco silk screen design, Hayes Lawn Care and Katie’s Dog Care. Corey had two fantastic students spring quarter that really impressed him. He says “Abby and Maddy changed my life for the better….our after school program is just the beginning of a friendship for life.”

“Abby started ABBA DABBA Advertising and Events and Maddy started his own comedian business. His motto is “Laughter is the best medicine”, staggering words of truth spoken from an automated wheelchair.

“Abby and Maddy, recently recognized as Outstanding Missoula Youth, have personal challenges but are gifted with positive perspectives. The value gained by our students in confidence and insight is an immeasurable head start in to the “real world”. We adopted the Warren Miller mantra and it resonated throughout the experience: “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”.

– Corey Raths, Mentor
