Andy Mecca has spent many years helping young people lead better lives. Now he's President of the California Mentor Foundation and author of Lifeplan: Tools Every Teenager Needs to Thrive, Not Merely Survive.

In 1981, Governor Wilson asked Andy to be California's drug czar. Lessons from this and other roles led Andy to mentoring as a key lever in helping kids thrive.

Andy joined us for Mentoring Teens.
