SHARE YOUR STORY    LISTEN TO THEIR STORY    SEE THE CHANGE

OVERVIEW
YMI training takes place on a Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Each mentor learns the  Share Your Story – Listen to Their Story – See the Change  model. Mentors are shown how to use the Developmental Assets as a guide to share life experiences to model and teach the valuable assets young people need. Story prompts based on 28 of the Developmental Assets are provided to YMI mentors each week of their mentoring relationship. Following a complimentary lunch, a  trained counselor from Groff & Associates will help mentors discern when the needs of a student are greater than what they can address in the mentoring relationship.

HOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED
SCHOOL PERFORMANCE- Measurable improvements observed by their school: Academically, Disciplinary referrals, and Social behavior
PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES- Exhibiting and demonstrating Internal Assets.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT- Exhibiting and demonstrating External Assets.

OUR GOAL
Build Developmental Assets into our students and our community through mentoring relationships.
