Thank you for your interest in our program!
The goal of our mentoring program is to strengthen individuals holistically. Mentoring develops individuals personally and professionally, so that they can gain adaptability, responsibility, and learn or refine skills and tools needed for transitions in life. Our main priorities consist of strengthening the interests and passions of youth and young adults while exposing them to new activities and hobbies, and providing them with a strong, positive role model who will guide them in achieving and maintaining exciting goals and outcomes. If this sounds like something that can help you or a young adult you know, please complete the application and return it to The Mentor Coach Foundation so that we may start the process of finding a mentor for you/your individual.
Mentors help mentees set specific, realistic goals and appropriate expectations. Mentoring relationships have been proven to be invaluable. Caring mentors are available, analytical, and active listeners who make a sincere connection with their mentees, while creating a safe space for authentic expression. Dedicated mentors devote themselves to their mentees' growth. Oftentimes ardent mentors share their perspectives and insights with their mentees. They invest the most valuable resource into each session: time.
Community-based mentoring, one-to-one, is available for every mentee.
Oftentimes mentees and mentors meet in communities/groups for activities agreed upon by both the mentee and mentor. Mentor match works towards improving skills and goals while enriching the mentee’s interests through social exposure. Mentees will only be matched to one mentor. It is recommended that mentees commit to a minimum or 4 – 6 hours per month.
Flourishing futures is our goal for every mentee.
After developing their plethora of skills throughout the course, mentees are able to take their finely-honed talents and abilities to their next career or occupation. This also leads to improvements in relationships, virtues, and satisfaction in life.
Requirements: Applicant must be over the age of 18 and willing to establish and maintain a mentoring relationship, communicate and think independently, and engage in and reciprocate conversation with the mentor.
