most important? Why?
4. How do you plan to build trust with your mentee and his/her family?
5. When you & your mentee are having a conversation together, what are some tips that you’ll keep in
mind for quality communication?

the relationship with your mentee is important? Who could you turn to for help if you’re feeling
discouraged or have questions?
7. Thinking of developmental assets, how might you as a mentor assist a child in feeling more empowered?
8. When it comes time to end your mentor relationship, what are a few key strategies to keep in mind in

I am expected to attend a minimum of one training/in-service per year
I am expected to give a minimum of one hour per week for a minimum of nine months to my mentee

I will read all emails from BCYMP and respond/RSVP when appropriate. I understand that they only
send emails when necessary, not just to fill my inbox.
