The Advance Mentoring Training (AMT) is a two-phase comprehensive development training program that teaches skills that assist mentors to be successful with their mentee-matches. C.H.O.I.C.E. partners with other Local Organizations (e.g., University of Louisville-Kent School Social Work and Life For YOuth, LLC) to offer training to our HIGH School Mentors which help guide their experiences as “Dare to Dream” Mentors. All Mentors are required to participate within THE ADVANCED mentoring training before being matched with an elementary mentee. The High School Mentors gain understanding on how to sharpen their skills and talents to be an effective Mentor.
AMT focuses primarily on building support and developing opportunities for mentors to learn the skills to respond to the needs of the mentees. Areas of training include, but are not limited to, positive youth development, crisis procedure and response, role modeling, culture diversity, community services, relationship building skills, improving communication techniques and leadership training.
C.H.O.I.C.E. offers our Advanced Mentoring Training to any organizations with High School or Adult Mentors. If you are interested in scheduling a training, please contact our Program Coordinator, Dr. Dawn K. Shannon, [email protected]
