Over 1000 Tips and Strategies to Encourage Youth to Achieve Greatness

Over 1000 ideas, including activities for mentors to do with mentees, have been gathered from a variety of mentoring programs. Wherever possible, encourage the mentee to make suggestions about things to do. This is in line with the developmental aspect of youth mentoring. However, mentors might need a few ideas to suggest and the list that follows the information about the new EBooks gives a taste of the content of The Spirit of Mentoring series. The Ebooks containing these topics and heaps of other resources were launched in the new Spirit of Mentoring series in October 2020.
