Mentees

Mentoring is often one component of a program that involves other elements, such as tutoring or life skills training and coaching. The supportive, healthy relationships formed between mentors and mentees are both immediate and long-term and contribute to a host of benefits for mentors and mentees. (MENTOR, 2009; Cavell, DuBois, Karcher, Keller, & Rhodes, 2009)

Benefits for youth:

• Increased high school graduation rates
• Lower high school dropout rates
• Healthier relationships and lifestyle choices
• Better attitude about school
• Higher college enrollment rates and higher educational aspirations
• Enhanced self-esteem and self-confidence
• Improved behavior, both at home and at school
• Stronger relationships with parents, teachers, and peers
• Improved interpersonal skills
• Decreased likelihood of initiating drug and alcohol use

Are you a parent, guardian, teacher, or caring adult to a young person who you feel could benefit from a mentor? Champion Circle is a mentoring program for male youth age 14-19. After our summer workshops and community activities we pair our mentee with a mentor for the academic school year. Over the years our mentors have developed strong bonds with our mentees that have lasted for years.
