Eli L. Lawrence

Volunteer mentor with Sunrise Foundation

  • 🇺🇸 Laredo, Texas, United States
  • Sunrise Foundation
  • Since 2002
  • English
For 24 years I've mentored people in recovery and first-generation students. Mostly it's coffee, honest feedback and a lot of listening. Most of my mentees are early in their careers. A few are in their fifties and starting over, and they're some of my favorites. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
