This document outlines the goals and logistics of a mentoring program. The goals for mentees are to develop self-awareness, purpose, fulfillment, confidence, and overcome challenges. Goals for mentors are to grow listening and reflection skills, teach lifelong problem-solving, and guide mentees in growth. Mentors meet with mentees every two weeks in public. The coaching style employs guided questions and selective advice to help mentees reflect and find their own solutions. Meetings should include homework and checking progress. Confidentiality and the mentee's comfort are important. Initial meetings involve sharing backgrounds and life goals. Spiritual topics can be discussed if the mentee is comfortable.

6. Logistics
How? We want to employ more of a
coaching style of mentoring where we
facilitate the mentee to reflect upon their
own life and figure out their own solutions,
with guided questions and selective advice
giving.
We do want each session to end with some
kind of homework or action step for the
mentee and for the mentor to check on
whether the action step was done in the
next meeting.
If they didn’t do it, do not be harsh, but
simply let it be a stepping stone for further
questions such as, what was happening in
your life so that you couldn’t accomplish
your action step?

7. Confidentiality
Please respect the confidentiality of
what your mentee shares with you.
You do not need to share with us
anything that they say.
However, if you think they are
sharing something we should know,
please first, encourage the person to
tell us directly.
Secondly if they don’t feel
comfortable with that, ask them
permission to let us know, and then
let us know if they agree.

8. First Meeting
You may want to start by sharing each of
your backgrounds, history, life story.
Possible questions:
What are some of your life goals or
dreams?
Tell me about your family?
Lastly if there is enough time: what is a
challenge you are facing? How can I pray
for you?
First meeting you don’t have to do the
homework part :)

9. Spiritual Topics
There is importance in wholeness
of health, including spirit, mind,
body, heart.
So please feel free to pursue
spiritual topics and go as deep as
you want, as long as the mentee
does not feel coerced or forced.
Feel free to pray together, or for
them, and share Bible verses,
etc.

10. THANK YOU!!
Any questions?
End with prayer.
