Amanda Moraton
Mentee
Becoming a mentee has been an enriching experience. I have been able to use the guidance and wisdom my mentor has shared with me during real life situations. I would highly recommend all college students to become a part of Plant a Seed Institute. Students who become mentees will gain knowledge in the field they are considering through the guidance of their own mentor.
Matt Moraton
Mentee
As an optometry student, aspiring to be a private practitioner, I have learned the importance of time management and goal setting. Prior to becoming involved with Plant a Seed Institute, I did not understand how vital it is for entrepreneurs to dedicate themselves to goals they set for themselves. I would recommend the program to any individual seeking to develop a better understanding of the field they are most passionate about.
Susan McCarthy
Mentor
During the mentoring process, I have discovered that I am continually challenging myself to be my best self so that I can remain a positive role model throughout the mentor/mentee experience. I would highly recommend mentorship for those individuals who find fulfillment in making a significant and life changing difference in the lives of others.
Robert Mack
Mentor
I know first-hand how challenging it is to get to where you want to be when you are on your own. My goal is to positively affect the professional life of a protégé by fostering insight, identifying needed knowledge, and expanding growth opportunities for them. I encourage any professional who has interest in giving back to our future professionals, to consider becoming a mentor and playing a role in their future success. As I mentor others, I learn even more about myself.
The Plant a Seed Institute inspires self-reliance by providing individuals with services that support education, career, and community development.
Founded in 2013, the Plant a Seed Institute is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit serving Orange County, California. At the Plant a Seed Institute, our goal is to help young adults achieve their career dreams and reach their full potential. In turn, our mentees are shown how to reciprocate by giving back to the communities.
To that end, we have gathered together a group of individuals who have a passion for, and aspire to share their knowledge, skills, and experience with these young adults. We seek to inspire self-reliance by providing individuals with services that support education, career and community development. These services are offered at no cost to our mentees.
