Maximize Your Impact Demo: How to Build Positive Mentoring Relationships with Youth - Closed Due to Capacity

Session 1: 11:00-11:55 (55 minute workshop)

Experience a demonstration of MPM’s popular training for mentors!  Maximize Your Impact teaches volunteer mentors the skills they will need to begin and sustain successful mentoring relationships. Through interactive exercises and discussion, mentors will address their expectations and concerns, learn the roles and responsibilities of successful mentors, tackle real-life scenarios from adult/youth mentoring relationships and prepare for the different stages of mentoring relationships. This workshop shows new and experienced mentors how they can maximize their impact as a mentor by: 1. Focusing on what is strong, not what is wrong 2. Paying attention to what mentees would like for themselves - not just what we think they need 3. Teaching and modeling skills to help young people carry their baggage better 4. Building longer, stronger relationships

MPM's mentor training is appropriate for mentors from all types of programs as it encourages mentors to maximize their impact despite limitations and in the face of challenges. This conference workshop offers you the opportunity to experience our mentor training firsthand and find out how you can bring it to your mentors!
