Tuesday Tips: 100 Ideas to Use When Mentoring Youth

Here is a fantastic list of activities and conversations to help your mentees excel!
This list of 100 Ideas comes from interviews and observations of mentors, mentees, and youth program staffs and from several youth-development publications. Most ideas require your active involvement and could take place during your official “mentoring meetings” or spontaneously as they come to your mind or become available. Others can be done with some guidance from you by the mentees themselves with a “report-in” to you when you meet again.
Some ideas are for fun and some produce more serious responses. All are designed to help your mentees develop their social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and physical sides. In boxes, you’ll see some quotes from mentors and mentees and descriptions that present an activity in more detail. The ideas are presented in no particular order. Read through the list, make plans with your mentees, then try the ones that will work for you.
