The role of the mentor is to provide guidance and support through a nurturing relationship mentor and protégée relationship, by giving time, being available, maintaining communication, keeping promises, being understanding, listening, providing support while acknowledging limitations and mistakes, with humor and gifts, and especially talking about race/ethnicity and culture.

Many of you are probably thinking, “Well, never.” But why should that be the case? Have you simply accepted that dolls are for girls and monster trucks are for boys?…
Many of these students were often on trajectories that would make them the first in their families to pursue higher level education. As a result, I realized that youth mentors often possess somewhat of a dual role. In one sense, we are responsible for their academic learning by facilitating and implementing classroom methodologies. In another sense, however, we can also act as role models for the students; we can provide them with someone whom they could potentially emulate and model their behavior…
