Advantages Of Youth Mentoring Programs

By Edward Johnson


Deciding whether to offer mentor-ship projects to teens should not be a difficult choice to make. There are a lot of pros involved with it than cons. It is always good to help them out to keep them straight and not go astray. Here are a few of the advantages of youth mentoring programs.

Self-esteem helps builds the character of someone. A person with lower self-respect would tend to down himself or herself all the time. This often leads to depression. It is a state that can be confusing, especially to youths. Even high self-worth can be dangerous as it makes you feel above everyone else. These programs help people of this age group find the right balance to their self-esteem.

Knowledge does not only come from school. People learn every day through situations that happen around us. One does not have to explicitly choose their career path from what they are taught in school. Having to undergo these schemes widens the options for someone to choose a path that they will feel comfortable with. It essentially unlocks the potential in them.

Bad attitude about school is something that most youths have. There has been an alarming increase in dropouts recently. It has even been predicted that the numbers are likely to increase over the years. One way to change the perspective of those thinking of quitting school is through some certain training schemes. What they get from the whole process can entirely change their perception about school.

An active community involves healthy relationships and the social skills that everyone has to offer. For youths to build strong relationships with their families, friends, and the whole community, they should be able to exhibit these skills. How to communicate with others and behave accordingly depending on the situation is one way of developing strong relations. These skills are often taught in these training projects.

Resilience gets people through difficult moments. You do not have to be physically fit to be a resilient person. Mental toughness during these situations is what gets you through them. Youths need to go through some hardship to be able to adapt to different kinds of situations. Experience is the best way to learn. Having to go through training will effectively develop ones resilience.

Lots of people in this age group tend to do drugs. Causes are more likely to be depression, poverty brought by unemployment and even idleness. There is a lower risk of them being involved with drugs when they are actively participating in some mentorship. They should be informed that to every problem, there is a solution, and doing drugs should not even be an option.

Working in a team is something that most employers admire from job seekers. To be able to set aside any differences with someone you have and come together to accomplish a certain task is a really difficult thing to do. Even working with someone else you barely know can be challenging. These proceedings teach how to partner with others to come and accomplish a set goal.
