PENTECOST NATION MENTORSHIP SCHOOL
We aim to close the mentoring gap and drive equity through quality mentoring relationships for young people. We are connecting and fueling opportunity for young people everywhere they are from schools to workplaces and beyond.
SHARE YOUR STORY
Personal stories provide points of connection and remind us of the power of relationships to break down otherness, find common ground, and elevate shared humanity. That’s why MENTOR is collecting stories about mentoring in real life — stories from mentors, mentees, programs, and anyone willing to elevate their voice and personal connection to mentoring.
We know that mentors are the best recruiters, and their stories can inspire
others to step up and join the movement. Will you share your story?
GOOD MENTORSHIP
WHAT MAKES A GOOD MENTOR
Before becoming a mentor, here are a few things to understand about the role of mentoring. Most of us have had a teacher, supervisor, or coach who has been a mentor to us and made a positive difference in our lives. Those people wore many hats, acting as delegators, role models, cheerleaders, policy enforcers, advocates, and friends. Mentors assume these different roles during the course of a relationship, and share some basic qualities:
- A sincere desire to be involved with a young person
- Respect for young people
- Active listening skills
- Empathy
- Ability to see solutions and opportunities
- Flexibility
