NEW!!!! ~  Preparing My Mentor For Me

Meeting your mentee for the first time can be a bit intimidating. For all your accomplishments and experiences, you sometimes can’t help worrying, “What if he or she doesn’t like me?”

Preparing My Mentor for Me answers the many questions that can, and frequently do, arise. Whether a first-timer or a seasoned veteran, you will find in these pages invaluable advice to help you unlock the door to positive communication with your mentee.

The cost is $10 per guide. Copies can be ordered online from the Governor’s Prevention Partnership at: http://www.preventionworksct.org/publications.html

 

My Mentor and Me: The Elementary School Years
This guide is designed to help mentors and mentees at the elementary school level share in a mutually rewarding experience. It contains 36 fun and meaningful activities for every week that a mentor would meet with a youth during a full school year. The lessons extend far beyond the school walls.

Consider using this handy guide as a way to thank the mentors in your program, to give to them at the end of their first training to become mentors, or to encourage prospective mentors to come aboard. Companies who have employees who mentor love to purchase and give these as a gift to their own mentors.

The cost is $6 per guide. Copies can be ordered online from the Governor’s Prevention Partnership at: http://www.preventionworksct.org/publications.html
