Licensed Masters Social Worker and Mentor Coordinator Sarah Martin shares her passion for helping troubled young people make their buried hopes for the future into reality.
As a volunteer mentor for Mentors Care in its infancy, Sarah’s mother-in-law witnessed firsthand the undeniable success of students in the program and knew right away that somehow Sarah was meant to be part of the movement. So she introduced Sarah to Mentors Care Founder Dena Petty and the two instantly hit it off.
Listen to this reminiscent episode about the early days of Mentors Care, which started as a small high school mentoring program that evolved into a nearly all-consuming movement that today spans North Texas and continues to grow.
As training coordinator for Mentors Care, Sarah leads the charge to train and equip hundreds of volunteer mentors for success. If mentors are considered to be the lifeline of the Mentors Care program, then it’s safe to assume that coordinators like Sarah Martin are the backbone, heart, eyes, and ears!
“Any time spent with a child is time not spent in vain.” - Dena Petty, Mentors Care Founder

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
