Mentors Need Support Too

Have you met with your mentor group lately?

Share experiences with each other, ask questions, explore resources, and plan casual activities that gather mentors and youth together.

Being part of a group gives you a community of people to help you be a successful mentor. Someone in your group may have the answer you are looking for. Why not ask?

Get together often

You don’t need an official event to have fun together or learn something amazing. 

Invite the group over for a movie night, host a pot luck dinner, participate in a community event, do a service project, go on a hike, meet to write resumes, or register to vote.
