Webinar on Mentor Training from the new EEPs Part 2
Standard 3: Mentor Training Enhancements Webinar will be conducted on July 22, 2010 and will feature April Riordan, Director of Training and Community Partnerships at the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota (MPM). The webinar will cover optional mentor training topics that mentoring programs can use to supplement pre-match mentor trainings. This webinar will share training ideas from MPM's "Maximize Your Impact" and "Culturally Smart Relationships" workshops, which are both designed to equip new mentors with the knowledge, skills and awareness they need to build longer, stronger relationships with youth. Participants will learn how MPM incorporates positive youth development concepts and cultural, gender and economic issues into mentor training, and helps other programs fulfill the EEPM benchmarks and enhancements for mentoring.
Thanks to the generosity of the MetLife Foundation both webinars are free to attend. However, attendees will need to use their long distance carrier for the audio portion of the call unless they use VOIP. Space is limited, so register today:
