The youth must be committed to the relationship. The youth is expected to make him/herself relationally available to the mentor.  Efforts must be shown to invest time, focus, and attention that is required to develop a healthy, positive relationship.  Though the task of making new friends may be difficult, it is the youth's responsibility to seek support from the Program Coordinator to achieve this task.  The youth is also required to keep an open line of communication with the Program Coordinator to provide weekly updates on the mentoring relationship and voice any questions, comments, or concerns.

 

It is expected of the parent or guardian to show respect to their child's mentor.  The parent or guardian must understand that the role of the mentor is to focus on working with their child; therefore, it is imperative that the parent/guardian supports the mentoring relationship and allows their child to develop a relationship with the mentor.

 

We ask that the parent/guardian maintain an open line of communication with the Program Coordinator as the mentoring relationship progresses to keep us informed of any concerns and questions that may arise during the course of the mentoring relationship.
