Conflict Resolution and Problem-Solving
Teens are equipped with tools to handle challenges that may arise while mentoring, such as addressing misunderstandings, resolving conflicts, and supporting mentees through academic or personal struggles.
Leadership and Role Modeling
This training helps teens understand their role as leaders and positive role models. Activities focus on demonstrating empathy, setting good examples, and motivating elementary and middle school students to reach their potential.
Mentorship in Action: Practical Techniques
Teens engage in hands-on exercises to practice mentoring techniques, including leading paired reading sessions, guiding group activities, and fostering a supportive learning environment for their mentees.
