Mentors

Post-Residential Mentors

We appreciate your continued involvement with your cadet!  We find that cadets are often nervous to leave NMYCA and return to the "real world" and continue on a positive path to success.  Your role as a Mentor can make a HUGE difference in your cadet's life...please continue to take your role seriously and with pride!

As you learned at Mentor Training, we ask that you keep us informed about our graduated.  This will involve submitting Mentor Monthly reports, as detailed below.

Mentor FAQ

Why do cadets have to have a Mentor?
A very important part of ChalleNGe is the Post-Residential Phase.  After our cadets graduate, we stay in touch with them for 1 year to help them adjust.  Your role as a Mentor is a very important part of this process; you will meet with your cadet regularly to help, lead, guide, and direct him/her on the path to success!

Mentor Reports

Mentor Monthly Reports are due by the 5th of the month.  During one of your face-to-face meetings each month, please review the Post-Residential Action Plan.  Is your cadet on track?  Have plans changed?  Please indicate in the Remarks section.  Information give here reflects current involvement, not what they intend to do several months from now.

Mentoring . . . the Core of ChalleNGe

"We can help a person to be himself by our own willingness to steep ourselves temporarily in his world, in his private feelings and experiences. By our affirmation of the person as he is, we give  him support and strength to take on the next step in his own growth."  - Clark Moustakas
