Mentoring is a program that helps you learn about yourself by building
a relationship with another person and developing your interpersonal
skills. Individual Mentoring participants develop mentoring
relationships with kids, elderly, peers, and professionals.

or more modules. |

Project Ideas for the five modules are |
-

Meet with the 4-H group in your area and do a community service
project together.
-
Kids:
Sponsor a read-a-thon
with your elementary class where “buddies” work to read the most.
-
Career Mentoring:
Use the Individual
Excellence program and complete the shadowing part of the project.
-
Elder Mentor:
Start an “adopt a grandparent” program.
-
Teamwork:

night” and teach about Families First through games.
