This document summarizes a webinar on mentoring high-risk youth. The webinar covered several topics including preparing mentors, developing targeted mind growth activities, improving communication and interpersonal skills, focusing on positive relationships, and ensuring mentoring programs are developmentally appropriate. It emphasized the importance of relationships between programs and mentors, youth, and the community in achieving successful outcomes for at-risk youth.
This Webinar presentation was held on Tuesday, September 28, 2010, as part of the free monthly Webinar series from Friends for Youth's Mentoring Institute.
Youth mentoring is on the rise - again. More agencies are beginning mentoring programs as a component within other youth services and many existing programs are looking to refine their process. There are many excellent models and guidelines to help, including the Elements of Effective Practice from MENTOR and Foundations of Successful Mentoring from the National Mentoring Center.
Successful Youth Mentoring Practices: Considerations and Guidelines will review important youth mentoring programming basics, including California’s 10 Quality Assurance Standards, research and theoretical frameworks, and practical implementation ideas.
Mentoring involves sustained relationships between older and younger individuals that can benefit both parties as well as society. Participating in mentoring programs has been shown to help at-risk youth by lowering drug and alcohol use, improving relationships and academic performance, and increasing self-confidence. Effective mentoring matches aim to provide guidance, support, and positive role models to mentees.

Kids Taking Over! Peer Coaching as a STEM Strategy NAA 2015MSIScienceClubs
Peer coaching is proposed as a STEM strategy for after school programs. It fosters youth development by giving students ownership and autonomy over peer teaching. Peer coaches can help other students grasp difficult concepts through extra support. After school programs provide an ideal setting for peer coaching as they promote skill building, supportive relationships, and responsibility. Teens make good peer coaches as they can communicate content simply and inspire excitement. Programs should select coaches based on leadership abilities and train them on teaching skills, conflict resolution, and lesson content like UV beads and stomp rockets. Both short and long-term planning are needed to implement an effective peer coaching program.
This document discusses mentoring and provides guidance on establishing effective mentoring relationships. It defines mentoring as a relationship aimed at personal and professional growth. Successful mentoring is voluntary, confidential, and involves regular meetings between mentors and protégés. Mentors can fulfill various roles like coaches, teachers, advisors and friends. Protégés seek career guidance, feedback, and support becoming more politically savvy. Effective mentoring benefits both individuals and organizations by facilitating learning and improving performance.

This session is about you. And about your career. Where you want it to go. And how you can make it happen, whether you have children, are thinking about having children or have caring responsibilities. I also hope it will hold value and interest for those simply interested in exploring their own career development. The session is focused on transformation of self, using key events in the career journey of one individual to support others in exploring their own career development. 18 months after graduating and being appointed to my first role at Oxford Brookes University, I made the transition from young free and single 20 something, to single working parent, navigating the complexities of balancing brand new, and unexpected, parenthood with a fledgling career. Since then, I have been afforded, and fully exploited, a number of opportunities for career enhancement, and I have been given the space to do this alongside being a parent. This environment has enabled to me to take a burgeoning career and a child and be fully committed to both of them. 9 1/2 years and six roles later, it has become increasingly important to me to support colleagues in their career development, and in balancing their varied commitments in order to lead a full and satisfying working life. Using key experiences throughout my career for context, this session will explore the ways in which you view yourself; the way in which others view you; opportunities for (and barriers to) development; the sphere of control you exercise over your own future; and your allies and support network. The session will also explore the skills you use daily in your roles outside of the office to enhance your own professional practice, and how we, as individuals, can help set the tone for future managers, creating future generations of manager who support their colleagues in their development, regardless of their parental or caring status. The session will use small discussion groups to explore certain topics, individual and personal reflections which may or may not be shared, and personal pledges to ourselves about the next steps we want to take. It is intended to be a supportive, group session, where Chatham House Rules and commitment to confidentiality will be key to its success.

The document discusses Research in Action, a series developed by MENTOR that translates mentoring research into strategies for practitioners. It focuses on the first issue which highlights research showing mentoring promotes positive youth development. Mentoring provides important developmental assets for youth like increased social relationships and academic success. Effective programs incorporate features like sustained adult-youth relationships, life skills building, and youth leadership to develop qualities in youth like competence, confidence, and character. The issue provides mentors with ways to support these qualities in their mentees.
In our jobs, we are constantly challenged with leading people that do not report to us. Therefore, we must rely on other forms of influence to drive results in our project teams. Getting results through others is most effective when you have built a strong relationship. In this talk, Justin will draw from his experience at c3/consulting (and the knowledge of others at c3) to share thoughts about:
- Starting the conversation with someone new that you want to know
- Determining what you have to offer
- Forming habits that will lead to stronger relationships in the long run

In the field of employee development, an area that creates much confusion is the differences between business coaching and business mentoring.
This confusion often causes companies to opt for mentoring or coaching without understanding that they serve a different purpose and follow different paths to employee development. A failure to understand these differences often leads to disappointing results and the (understandable) mistake of blaming coaching (or mentoring) rather than realizing that the company created the wrong system.
At Management Mentors, we’re often asked to explain the differences. This brings us to the purpose of this white paper. We hope to provide you with a better understanding of coaching and mentoring and a process for determining which approach is best suited for your organization’s specific needs.

At Management Mentors, we’re often asked to explain the differences. This brings us to the purpose of this slide deck. We hope to provide you with a better understanding of coaching and mentoring and a process for determining which approach is best suited for your organization’s specific needs.
Before we begin, we’d like to offer one caveat. Though mentoring and coaching are distinct, they do share common elements. It is often a difference in emphasis and outcomes that creates the distinction. Also, there are some coaches who have the ability to act as mentors. Likewise, there are mentors who, in some instances, act more like coaches. What we’re seeking to accomplish in this slide deck is to articulate general differentiators that may not apply in all cases but that apply in most.
Mentoring has been widely recognized by top firms as an extremely beneficial career development tool, affecting employees’ success, job satisfaction and turnover rate. Mentoring PowerPoint Presentation Content slides include topics such as: 8 steps of mentoring, 29 points on emotional intelligence, 5 slides on organization’s gains, 6 mentor gains, 5 protégé’s gains and responsibilities, different ways of mentoring, qualifications for a mentor, general rules and guidelines, identifying candidates for protégé, and life cycle of mentoring relationship, increasing the pool of talented people, reducing recruiting and training costs, how to's and much more.

Help Young Talent Develop a Professional MindsetDaniel Goleman
There is a chasm between what business leaders expect from recent graduates, and what these new hires offer. In a Hay Group study of 450 business leaders and 450 recent graduates based in India, the US, and China… a massive 76% of business leaders reported that entry-level workers and recent grads are not ready for their jobs.
In most cases, these hires are intelligent, ambitious, and technically savvy. They have proven their ability to accomplish the work. They’re committed and passionate about rising through the ranks. So what are these new professionals missing?
They’re lacking soft skills.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Support, guidance and assistance is offered by the mentor. They will help the child through difficult times, face new challenges, and work to correct any past problems. When parents are unavailable or unable to provide responsible guidance, mentors can play a important role.
A mentor is an individual committed to helping a student, identified as an at-risk, get his/her life back together again, whether it be academically, socially mentally, or physically you can always count on a mentor. He/she commits his/her self to spending the time and energy necessary to put the student on the right track. The mentor takes on a lot of different roles at once. A mentor is a big brother/sister, role model, and most of all a friend to the student.
Mentoring is something that can change the world if it is applied. It will help people to cope with different things and it will help with social skills making problem solving easier for everyone. In doing that it will make everyone more susceptible to talking their problems and issues out with other people.
There are 4 different types of mentoring and they all pretty much have the save results and outcomes. One on One, Group, Peer, and e-mentoring all have their perks and good qualities but they also may have things that may be left out like maybe with one on one mentoring it’s not as effective as peer mentoring.
One-to-one mentoring is a developmental and learning technique aimed at increasing personal capacity, skills and learning. In this case there is a mentor and a mentee for the most part they come up with goals together and they come up with plans to pursue those goals together. The outcome would be in the mentors hands more so.
Mentoring is considered group mentoring when you have at least one adult and at least four children, for the most part group mentoring programs usually consist several adults working with small groups of children. The ratio of adult to children is not greater than 1:4.
Peer mentoring is when you have an older child befriends a younger child. This is a very mentoring technique. Child to child relationship is more natural than an adult to a child so it would be very easy for them to open up to one another and to understand one another's feelings and ideas.
Studies show that in peer programs mentors/mentees improve academically as a result of their involvement in the program. Not only did they develop academically but they also developed in character and they learned better ways of communication. The students learned to make better decisions and solve problems and in learning that they learned to resolve conflict in a mature way.
E-mentoring is mentoring via internet or email. This type of mentoring is for those who really don’t have much time to have a one on one relationship with a person. This type of mentoring is 20 minutes a week and is use mostly by college students.
As a part of the Big Brother Big Sister of America the Big Brother Big sister Program of Delaware’s school based mentoring program was studied nationally. The study showed that school mentors have a positive effect on children in the areas listed.
Here are a few things that may tie into mentoring. Paying it forward/altruism because you have to have an altruistic attitude which means doing something out of the kindness of your heart which also ties into community service because community service is a deed that you commit yourself to doing for nothing, just because you wanted to help someone/something or maybe a group of people. The UM Challenge is something that ties into this because it is a program that can be a representative of group mentoring. The UM Challenge is building a support group and that is what group mentoring is all about.
Paying it forward is the idea that you will help someone and expect nothing in return except for them to help someone else. It is doing something out of the kindness of your heart and not because you are getting something out of it. Pay it Forward is actually a movie and a book and I have the movie trailer here for you to see.
Mentoring is paying it forward because mentors are not asking for a pay check or asking for any kinds of rewards. Mentors only look out for the good of their mentee. They Expect to help and change the life or lives of the Little brother or sister.
Community Service is something that people do because they want to, because they want to pay it forward to their community as a whole. They volunteer their time and effects to do something that will benefit the community.
Community service connects with mentoring because it is voluntary. People volunteering their time and effect to pay it forward. So all three of theses things or ideas are connected in some way.
Basically anyone can become a mentor. People who want to have fun and want to change a life definitely has a place in mentoring programs. If your not open to people and would still like to be a mentor there is mentor training in which you will be taught the characteristics of a mentor.
In mentoring training you will be taught all the characteristics needed to be a sufficient mentor. You will be taught things like how to control you emotions and how to give and understand feedback. You will build your own confidence as a mentor and you will be taught how to help your protégé choose what to do next. In this class you will be taught how to be a leader.
The young people of today must cope with far more personal and social pressures than any other previous generation of youth. Early intervention through a structured mentor relationship may be able to give young people the tools and support they need to deal effectively with these pressures. Understanding the many social, psychological, and physical demands that the youth face is extremely important for any individual about to undertake the task of being a mentor. Following is a list of these issues.
Mentors are not Parent, Professional Counselors, nor are they Social Workers but some of their traits will be a part of the mentor’s role. Listening, Nurturing, Supporting, Advising. Through the mentors’ sustained caring, interest, and acceptance, youth may begin to think of themselves as worthy of this attention. They may apply this new, stronger sense of self-confidence to other relationships and experiences.
