Where does mentoring take place?
Mentoring can take place in a wide array of settings, such as a workplace, a school, a faith-based organization, a juvenile corrections facility, or some other community setting. Community-based: Programs usually have mentors pick up youth at home or school or some other location and then do some activity that mentor and youth choose together. Example: Mentor picks up youth at home and they go to the library. Site-based: Program managed by an organization with meetings of mentors and youth taking place at their facilities or a partner facility like a church or community center. All activities take place under some level of supervision by program management. School-based: Takes place during school hours at school sites. All activities are supervised by program personnel. Youth and mentors do not meet off-site unless it’s part of a group activity at another location but still supervised by program leaders.
