Goodwill GoodGuides™Youth Mentoring Program: The mentor and youth-mentee will meet weekly for a variety of activities. Twice a month they will meet to work on academics, discuss future plans, interpersonal skills and goal setting. Once a month they will participate in Career Development activities that will include career exploration, career interest tests, guest speakers and discussions around career development. Once a month they will participate in community and social activities such as attending a local sporting event (maybe a baseball game or a college football game), a trip to a local museum, community activities and service learning activities. We hope to involve the youth in community and to help them realize the importance of giving back to the communities in which we live.
