A mentor is a trusted adult friend with a
long-term, consistent commitment to provide guidance and support to a youth. Formal
Mentoring Programs are focused on supporting the relationship between mentor and
youth (mentee) and developing the character and capabilities of the young person.
What Is The Commitment Of A Mentor?
Programs typically last nine months. During that
time, a mentor is required to see his/her mentee once every
other week for two hours. Mentors are also expected to call
and/or see their mentee in between sessions.
