GUIDANCE

  • Having positive role models and support system that encourages the pursuit of excellence and sense of community breaks the negative pattern and provides a more hopeful and encouraging outlook.

lEADERSHIP

Over time, mentees develop the skills required to become mentors, so that they can act as leaders in their own communities.

sUCCESS

The four focus drives Mentoring Mentors’ yearly focal program outcomes. Some of the focus areas may overlap within any given stage of youth development. The goal is to create a generational culture that steers youth towards relation, community, and commitment. The four focus:

  1. Stronger relationships and positive influences that can demonstrate what it means to be part of a healthy community and sustain meaningful relationships.
  2. New approaches to socio-emotional learning that provide skills and strategies that help them thrive, even – or especially – in challenging circumstances.
  3. Academic support that allows our youth to reach higher and demand more of themselves and their educational systems.
  4. Partners who can connect our youth to better educational, workforce, and community-focused opportunities.

“A lot of mentoring groups [say] ‘this is your mentor,’ and they send you off. This is not like that. This is family,” Henley said. “What we’re doing is different. We’re actually building relationships and connecting with each other.”
