Become a Mentor…
Our mentor training program has several components that utilize a combination of proven methods we have learned over the years. These are some of the key aspects of the mentor training:
- Research-based instruction in role-modeling skills
- Goal-setting, keeping promises, handling mistakes
- Acknowledging student accomplishments, guiding them to achieve their goals
- Maintaining commitments (yours and theirs)
What Mentors Say After Their Commitment is Complete
- They felt they made a difference
- Many said the mentor-mentee relationship helped with or prevented problems for a young person
- They found mentoring immensely satisfying
- They learned or gained something personally from mentoring
- They would mentor again or recommend mentoring to a friend
