Buffalo, NY – WBFO continues a series of local conversations from Story Corps. The Western New York Mentoring Coalition is partnering with Story Corps to record the stories of mentors and the people they help. Today, we hear from Mike and Khalilah.
Mike is a case manager at Child and Adolescent Treatment Services. He began mentoring Khalilah three years ago when she was a seventh grader at Buffalo Public School 27. Mike might be the mentor. But it was Khalilah who took the lead in asking questions.

January is mentoring month. The Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo provided funding to the Western New York Mentoring Coalition for this series. The Story Corps mentoring segments are produced by WBFO News Director Mark Scott.
