In this segment of Our Kids, the importance of mentors is illustrated through stories that feature individuals in their own communities. By highlighting a police officer who started a free judo school to help kids get on a better path, a revolutionary accelerated kindergarten program that propels disadvantaged children by celebrating their smartness, and a young girl who expresses her pride and determination in song—despite living in a homeless shelter—we witness how mentors make a difference in the lives of everyone they associate with.
