Why Asare gives back |
For GenNext Cabinet member Asare, giving back is personal. “As a youth with no male role model in my life, I struggled with authority and conflict resolution. Mentors from a program in my community opened my eyes to a whole different world in terms of my capabilities and what I could do with my life,” he says. Asare has never forgotten the help he received as a young man—and today he shows his local love for the community by mentoring other young people as part of United Way’s netWORKS program. His advice to GenNext and other donors who want to make a difference in the lives of people and families experiencing poverty across Greater Toronto? “Whether you can donate your time, your skills, your money, or all three, it’s not going unnoticed—it’s really impacting lives on an individual level.” Watch this video (featuring Asare!) for just one example of a life changed. |
