62. What Is Child And Youth Mentoring? What is Mentoring? Answer Giving Time to a Child/Youth in your neighbourhood WhenOdysseus left for his long trip on the war path he asked his friend Mentor http://www.enymo.homestead.com/pageenwhatismentoring.html

What is Mentoring? Answer: Giving Time to a Child/Youth in your neighbourhood Who are the mentors and where do they come from? For Greek and African mentors, problems such as lack of time, money and professional stress did not exist. Today's volonteer mentors have these problems. Demand for mentors exceeds by far their supply. And yet, some of them do exist and their number grows. They come from all walks of life: students, singles, married couples with or without children, retirees. Why do they mentor? They remember their own childhood (good or bad) and the people who were important to them. They know how important their responsible friendship with a child/youth can become for the personal development of the future adult. They enjoy discovering the world from a child' s perspective. They even may realise that they make an important contribution to building a more human and more connected society. How do they mentor? They spend just a few hours per week with a child, preferably doing what the child wants to do, but also making their own suggestions. School homework is not excluded, but sports, movies and various hobbies usually take front stage. They commit themselves at least for a year. Conclusion If your are interested as a parent, social worker, potential mentor or even donor (!) to find out more about this great idea please look up the

66. Responsive Communities - Youth Mentoring VOL 2, NO 2. youth mentoring. The resources that most faithbased organizationscan bring to youth mentoring are small by comparison. http://www.polis.iupui.edu/RUC/Newsletters/Responsive/vol2no2.htm

Printable Version VOL 2, NO 2 YOUTH MENTORING PROBLEM: Many children have few positive adult influences and limited opportunities to learn fundamental social skills. SOLUTION: Congregations have established mentoring programs to instill discipline, transmit values, and provide positive role models to the city’s most vulnerable youth. Each summer for more than 40 years, Jewish children from around the Midwest have come to Goldman Union Camp Institute in Zionsville to learn about Jewish history and ethics and to take part in recreation. About 300 4 th through 10 th graders attend each of the two month-long summer sessions. Another 30 to 40 12 th graders enroll in Avodah, an intensive nine-week program of work, study, and social experiences. Rabbi Ron Klotz, director of the camp, describes it as “a celebration of Jewish life.” Goldman Union is one of 12 camps owned and operated by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, an organization of about 900 Reform congregations. As such, it takes a liberal approach to Judaism, Klotz says. “We want children to learn everything about Judaism. Then they have the latitude to make decisions when they’re older—whether they will keep kosher, how they will observe the holidays. There are many choices.” Many Christian and Islamic organizations offer a similar program—a camp or “vacation Bible school” that offers recreational opportunities, but whose main purpose is to teach children the fundamentals of a faith tradition.

Washtenaw County was one of four pilot counties to start this initiative. The program is based out of the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, but is promoted as a prevention tool in keeping youth out of the juvenile justice system.
