New Mentoring Resource! Mentoring is simple. You spend time with a youth, act as a positive role model, and support his/her strengths. Sure, mentoring is simple, but all kinds of challenges and issues might crop up over the course of your relationship. Grand Area Mentoring staff members are here to help you navigate the journey. As always, give us a call or email if you need assistance. Grand Area Mentoring also just released a new mentor handbook for volunteers. This handbook delves into program policies, mentoring theory and best practices, information about youth today, and other helpful tips. Please find the handbook here. This handbook is a work in progress. We welcome suggestions. Your feedback will help us make this better for you and your future mentoring colleagues.
