Plotting the Course for Success |
|
Link: |
http://www.ncld-youth.info/Downloads/mentor_guide.pdf |
Description: |
This
individualized mentoring plan guides mentors and mentees through a
number of activities to help them think about a young person’s
developmental needs and goals, and what sorts of activities,
experiences, and connections can help them achieve them. Not only does
this plan outline specific activities and action items for the mentee,
but it also enables the mentor to have an opportunity to express how he
or she would like to grow in the relationship. Driven by youth with
disabilities and grounded in the research based fields of youth
development and leadership (learning, connecting, thriving, working, and
leading), this plan will guide mentors and mentees as they “plot the
course” to help youth and emerging leaders make a successful transition
from youth to adulthood. |
