Becoming a Better Mentor: Strategies to Be There for Young People is a resource designed to help teach everyday individuals the basics of being a good mentor to a young person. Written by field experts, and full of real-world advice and evidence-based strategies, this handbook provides mentors with tangible strategies to “be there” for youth.

The Mentoring Mindset is meant to cover just the Mentoring Mindset, while highlighting the Becoming a Better Mentor resource for participants to explore specific topics after the training. You can use this either as a standalone training, or as an introduction with the Becoming a Better Mentor training to follow.

Cultural Humility courses helps mentoring professionals and volunteers build the awareness and skills needed to support young people from diverse backgrounds.
