MentorStark is proud to bring this flash mentoring model with a health-related twist to our community on Sunday, April 19 at Walk & Talk: A Mega Mentoring Event. Held at the Canton City School’s Bulldog Activity Center from 1pm - 6pm, Walk & Talk provides young people, middle-school aged to 27 years old, with an opportunity to build connections with professionals and trusted adults from around our community and beyond through one-on-one or group mentoring discussions. Best of all, discussions can happen on the track, while shooting hoops, or at game tables. Research shows that incorporating physical activity into mentoring interactions can accelerate rapport building and break down barriers. It also shows that just being in a physically active environment raises dopamine in the brain, which is the neurotransmitter that is responsible for motivation, reward and mood regulation.
