FERENTZ JOINS CHALLENGE
Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz and Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads
have joined forces with the Iowa Mentoring Partnership for
the 2011 Coaches Challenge. The Coaches Challenge runs
from Aug. 1-Nov. 21 and is a competition between Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas to see which state can recruit the most
mentors.
For three years, Kansas and Nebraska have competed in a
Coaches Mentoring Challenge, with Bo Pelini (Nebraksa),
Bill Snyder (Kansas State) and Turner Gill (Kansas) taking
part in the competition. Ferentz and Rhoads have joined the
competition this season.
According to The National Mentoring Partnership, there
are 15 million children in the nation in need of caring and
quality mentors. In Iowa, it is estimated that nearly 5,000
young people are currently in need of a mentor. Many of
these children and youth are young men who would strongly
benet from a positive male role model. The Iowa Mentoring
Partnership, an initiative of the Iowa Commission on Volun-
teer Service, upholds the commissions mission to improve
lives, strengthen communities and foster civic engagement
through service and volunteering by supporting quality
mentoring services and by working to close the mentoring
gap in our state.
The Iowa Mentoring Partnership currently supports a net-
work of more than 80 local, certied mentoring programs.
Any new mentor application received between Aug. 1-Nov.
21 will count towards the score of the respective state, with
cumulative totals updated each month.

lenge, visit [Link] or call 1-800-308-5987.
