If we’re lucky, we will have at least one mentor in our lives. Someone that encourages us, advises us and is a positive role-model during our personal and professional growth. Needless to say, mentors are awesome!

Because of that, we want you to thank your mentor and let them know how much you appreciate them.

How? Share a photo of your mentor, and tag one of our social media handles, either on Instagram or Twitter and use #MyGreenMentor in the caption. You can let them know how they positively impacted you and the skills they taught you that you still use in your everyday life.

Our contest will end on January 8th, 2020, and we will announce the winner on January 10th, 2020. Make sure to be following us on our social media channels in order to be eligible!

Our prize will be a water-proof Zomake Backpack- check out contest rules here.
