4 Service Project Suggestions Open Door-serving food Mercy House-serving food Shelter House- Midland Area Homes- Voluntary Action Center- Food Pantry- Work with intergenerational group on community service project
5 Role of the Mentor The mentor provides support for the participant through getting to know him or her, participating with him/her in aspects of the, and sharing something of his or her own religious journey. Mentors are adult members of the congregation, not related to the youth, who develop personal, one-to-one relationships with the young people. Mentors help the youth discover who they are and what they believe. Mentors are expected to attend some of the class sessions, help their youth with their service projects, and help their youth prepare presentations to be given at the Coming of Age ceremony. Mentors should be aware of the parents needs but be able to keep the youth s confidences. Being a Mentor requires dedication and time commitment, and the reward, in terms of applying personal values and truly making a difference in a young person s life, is significant. Expectations: 1. Attend the introductory class session, and the three last ones, which include the Credo Workshop and student presentations, and preparation for the Recognition Service. 2. Meet one-on-one with participants at least twice outside of class to establish rapport and develop credo. 3. Attend the overnight/team-building event 4. Work with student on service project. The mentor may also choose to accompany student to a board meeting or committee meeting, although this is optional. The mentor may also attend any or all class sessions.
