Mentorship is a protected relationship in which a more knowledgeable or experienced person guides and nurtures the professional development or growth of another outside the normal manager/subordinate line management. Its focus goes beyond learning specific competencies or tasks and builds a climate of trust so the mentee can feel secure to seek advice on issues impacting their professional success. Mentorship achieves its goals primarily by listening with empathy, sharing experiences, developing insight through reflection, and encouraging the mentee to achieve self-driven goals. The relationship is mentee-driven, with a clear definition of goals and expectations that are mutually agreed with the mentor. It is attentive to the mentee's values and needs and respectful of the mentor's time, resources, and experience
We plan to focus on teaching these girls Life/Personal Skills (hygiene, grocery shopping, cooking); Education (sexual protection and drug abuse); Financial Literacy (banking, saving, credit); Entrepreneurship (opportunities to be successful) We will also be doing a quarterly grade check, and tutoring will be mandatory if failing or there is room for improvement. The plan is for the mentorship to last for a year. Upon successful completion, the girls will be awarded a trip, a certificate, and a possible option to mentor another individual. We will have monthly meetings until we become acquainted with the girls, then we will implement a set schedule for meeting times.
