Literature Review 1. Mentoring is becoming one of the most popular social interactions in the United States today, with an estimated 3 million youth in formal one on one relationship (Rhodes & DuBois 2006, pg 254). Youth mentoring is shown to help youth, especially those at risk in terms of education, problem behavior job readiness, reduction in substance abuse or other anti -social behavior. Most mentoring is community based, in contrast to school based, and most target at risk populations (Jekielek & Moore 2002, paragraph 6). Mentoring programs can help establish a positive relationship with at least one caring adult and youth. These relationships are the corner stone of an effective mentoring program. Even, though each piece of literature expresses the concerns on gaps in service and its lack of effectiveness on some mentoring outcomes. Effects of mentoring programs likewise typically have been small in magnitude, but they increase systematically with use of program practices likely to support relationship development (Rhodes & DuBois 2006, pg 254).

Creating positive relationships between mentor and mentee will allow for longer participation and better outcomes, in regards to education, behavior, social skills in youth development. To create the best outcomes for a…

While mentoring new Supervisors or mentoring anyone for that matter, I believe the most precious resource I can offer is my time.

By giving support and offering guidance, trust was built which helped lay the foundation for a very successful mentorship. Not…

Raised by the Baby Boomers who were influenced by Vietnam, Watergate, and were “idealistic” in nature, Millenials are perceived to be motivated by time off who value individuality and have low company loyalty (Montana Office of Public Instruction). But, when trying to connect with them on a coaching,…

Discipleship and mentoring are two vital ministries needed both inside and outside the church. Both can be life changing and seem rather synonymous with each other, however, there are differences that are needed to be understood between the two. Plainly stated, disciples devote themselves to the precepts of Christ and possess both passive personal and active social qualities (Sanders, 1994). A disciple appreciates the heavy, personal toll of discipleship, and with a humble spirit, is willing…
