Mentoring 101 Training
Who Mentored You?
Think back. Growing up and in your young adult life, who mentored you? Who supported and guided you? Who empowered and inspired you to discover new paths, recognize possibilities and realize your full potential?
Mentoring is a structured, sustained, developmental relationship between a young person and a caring individual with the goal of offering support, building character and promoting healthy youth development. By being a positive role model, a mentor can help motivate a child to learn and achieve a viable, healthy path to adulthood. Best of all, mentoring is fun!
