Understanding Youth-Initiated Mentoring and How to Employ This Strategy with Today’s Youth – June 21, 2018 from 1-2:15 pm ET
Successful recruitment of mentors is a benchmark of overall program quality, yet recruiting mentors is the number one challenge of many mentoring programs. What if young people could identify a caring adult they want for a mentor? Youth-initiated mentoring is gaining momentum throughout the country. It involves engaging non-parental adults from young people’s own social networks to serve as mentors. In this webinar, panelists will discuss what the research says about this innovative practice, how to support young people as they identify and contact a mentor, and the challenges that arise when the relationship transforms from informal to purposeful and goal-oriented.
