Mentoring is a one-to-one service provided by mature adults to children and youth needing support, role modeling, guidance, and discipline. The mentor functions both as a positive role model and advocate for a youth in his/her family system and community. Clients are always matched with a mentor of the same gender and ethnic group. Mentors usually have had previous experience working with children and youth, and receive training in such issues as appropriate activities, boundaries, communication, family dynamics, discipline, and record keeping. Mentors are expected to establish good communication with parents or other caregivers, and spend some time with them on each visit. A mentor could be involved in a variety of activities with a youth. Some examples might be: recreational activities, school-related activities such as helping a youth with special assignments when the youth and family team believe it is appropriate, social skills and life skills development, peer/interpersonal relationship building, personal care/hygiene/exercise, increasing awareness of community resources, etc.
