What is a mentor?

A mentor is someone who teaches, provides guidance, encourages, and serves as a role model for their mentees.

Mentors are the heroes of The Legacy Project of Stark.  They truly make an imPACT.

They are:

Imaginative–While the Legacy Project of Stark provides content in weekly activities and talking points, our mentors use their imagination to make it the best fit for their group. This involves taking the time to get to know their group so that they can include their hobbies, passions, and goals into the conversation.

Mindful–Our mentors understand that imPACT groups are designed to be engaging for the students.  Students should want to be there because you are mindful of their thoughts and feelings.

Patient–Our mentors understand that students need to move around, be silly, and let out energy!  Not every conversation will last 45 minutes.

Adaptable–We accept middle school students for who they are and where they are at on any given day.  We adapt our conversations to meet students in the moment.

Consistent–Life happens!  We get that! While none of us can plan for emergencies, illnesses, or (fill in the blank), our mentors make impact groups a priority in their week.  Students need to know that they matter to you.

Trustworthy–Students know that they can rely on our mentors to show up, give good advice, and care about them.
