MENTU is a reading project introduced in April, 2016. And since that year brought CYPA products [CYPA was founded in 2009 to bring meaning to the college application process through exploring self-awareness and insightful storytelling. ] under its arms. As MENTU found that better storytelling starts with tailored readings.MENTU argues that the passion to reading for any individual is fostered through the right book and the right mentor.Reading fosters perspective, logical reasoning, knowledge, and information navigation. These elements lead to personal growth, and allows one to see professional and personal opportunities that the less well read cannot. The benefits are endless. There are even articles claiming that reading is the key factor to most successful people.Yet, reading as fun and leisure or a sincere desire for reading seems to be an ancient pursuit, if not lost completely.The lack of love for reading stems from our current social constraints. For middle to high school students, strict curriculums prohibit book selection freedom and confuses authoritative assignments with reading, leading students to "hate" reading. For adults, it could be the perception that there is a lack of time, or don't know where to start.MENTU strives to bring back the love of reading to everyone. Our mentees, through MENTU, have regained their desire and discovered that reading truly empowers them, hence, "read to win."
