Youth mentoring is a supportive relationship where an experienced individual, known as a mentor, guides and encourages a younger person, often referred to as a mentee. This relationship can help the mentee develop skills, gain confidence, and navigate challenges in their personal or academic life. Mentors can be teachers, community leaders, or older peers who share their knowledge and experiences. The goal of youth mentoring is to foster positive development and provide a safe space for the mentee to express themselves. Programs often focus on building trust and communication, helping young people set goals, and encouraging them to pursue their interests and aspirations.
