Mentorship

Insight

Skill-Building Sessions: Each week, mentors and mentees participate in a range of activities that encourage the development of critical life skills, including communication, problem-solving, and time management. These sessions also focus on fostering academic success through personalized support and guidance.

Personal Goal Setting: Mentors work closely with mentees to help them identify and set achievable personal goals, offering encouragement and accountability as they work toward these objectives. This goal-setting process empowers youth to take ownership of their futures and cultivate a growth mindset.

Experiential Learning: Beyond discussions, the program emphasizes hands-on, practical activities that support personal growth. These include:

• Event Attendance: Mentees and mentors attend community events, educational workshops, or cultural experiences that broaden perspectives and inspire new ideas.

• Physical Activities: From group workouts to outdoor adventures, physical activity is integrated into the program to promote health and well-being.

• Skill Development: Mentees and mentors engage in learning new skills together, such as cooking, coding, or artistic pursuits, enhancing their personal and professional development.

• Shared Reading: Reading is encouraged as a shared activity, helping to foster a love for learning and build stronger mentor-mentee connections through discussions about books and stories.

This holistic approach provides mentees with the tools they need to thrive, not only in academic settings but in life. The mentorship relationship grows through both conversation and action, offering mentees the confidence to embrace their potential and pursue their dreams. It is also an opportunity for mentors to learn from the perspectives and lived experiences of our youths.
