“Mentors play such an important role in a person’s life,” said Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino. “Not only did these young women get on-the-job training, but they also got to see first-hand what it takes to set goals and succeed in the workplace. I congratulate all of the students who completed the program, and thank our fantastic mentors.”
Funded by Judge Judy Sheindlin, the presiding judge on the number one daytime syndicated show “Judge Judy,” and developed by her daughter, Nicole Sheindlin, Her Honor Mentoring is administered by the Westchester County Office for Women, a division of Astorino’s iffice, and the Mental Health Association of Westchester.
“It is my profound wish that having had the experience of Her Honor Mentoring will help these fine young women become the heroes of their own stories,” said Judge Sheindlin.
The girls were selected with the help of their school districts and received stipends for their work.
Mentees were selected this year from the following high schools: Lincoln, Mamaroneck, Mount Vernon, Nellie Thornton, Saunders and White Plains. Mentors are in bold; an * indicates a returning mentor.
