includes a strong, enduring relationship between a well-
established professional and a more junior colleague.
The established professional nurtures the novice, who is
ushered into the inner circle of his or her field

is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young
people together with caring individuals who offer
guidance, support and encouragement aimed at
developing the competence and character of the
mentee. A mentor is an adult who, along with parents,
provides a young person with support, counsel,
friendship, reinforcement and constructive example.
Mentors are good listeners, people who care, people
who want to help young people bring out strengths that
are already there. A mentor is not a foster parent,
therapist, parole officer, or cool peer (www.mento
