What is mentoring?
Mentoring is about volunteers building relationship with youth for a prolonged period of time. Mentors and mentees join together and form matches. A mentor is a volunteer who is a positive role model, confidant, advocate, supporter, coach, and friend. The mentees in the program should be open to the concept of mentoring and are active participants within the match. Parents/guardians are supporters of the match and their awareness and approval of the match is essential for the success of the mentoring relationship.
