Preparing for Your Mentoring Relationship Video

Description of Resource:

The brief video, Preparing for Your Mentoring Relationship, was created for prospective youth mentees by experienced youth mentees (the Executive Youth Board of the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota). In the video, youth explain concepts related to mentoring and mentors’ roles; they also identify a range of reactions youth might have about starting a mentoring relationship. The video can be used by program staff to supplement mentee intake activities or educate youth about the mentoring process. It is supported with a collection of links to additional tools, activities and resources for mentees; it should be noted that these supplemental materials have not been reviewed by the National Mentoring Resource Center.
