As a mentor, I want to use my influence over young impressionable minds to shape their beliefs and behaviors in a positive way. How can I do this?

As a mentor, your responsibility is to encourage, support and inspire young people to reach their potential. By sharing positive life lessons that highlight the value of empathy and respect for oneself and others, you can create a safe space for open conversations that promote personal growth. You should also provide opportunities for goal-setting and learning from failure so they are better prepared when facing adversity. Finally, listening is one of the most important tools in any mentor’s toolbox; showing empathy and genuine concern can have immense healing properties when people feel marginalized or misunderstood. Ultimately being present — even when things seem tough — goes a long way in fostering meaningful connection with mentees.
