Role of Parents & Guardians

What is my role?

SUPPORT FROM PARENTS OR GUARDIANS IS KEY TO THE MENTORING RELATIONSHIP

Once a mentor match is confirmed, the parent/guardian plays a key role in the success of the match. Your encouragement and positive attitude from the beginning will go a long way toward a creating a successful mentoring relationship.  Communicating your values, rules, time limitations, or other concerns to the mentoring program staff is important. As the mentoring relationship builds, it is important to talk with your child and the mentor separately about how things are going.
