Everyday Mentoring Tips

Everyone has their passions, interests, and/or obsessions - the things they get excited to talk about (or, potentially, write about). When students can explore those ideas, it pushes assignments toward the fun end of the work-fun spectrum. Creating zines are a great exercise for doing this. 

Summer often leaves kids with lots of unstructured time. This is a great opportunity to encourage play and learning! 

Support responses can be a great way to encourage young people (or adults!) to open up and share more during conversations.
