How would you describe this experience and what you learned?

Did you meet your goals?

What is the biggest takeaway?

Knowing what you know now, would you have approached this mentorship differently? How so?

Are you aware of any needs/values that you have now that you weren't aware of at the start. If you were to continue with this/ do it again, how could we support those needs and values?

Discuss improvements/areas of growth for overall structure

How many times do you just say ok without even thinking about the question when asked how you're doing?
How many times do you use the same format of name + student at  (insert high school) or something similar when describing yourself?

While yes, those things are true they don't give us a glimpse into you and who you are and how you operate. We want our mentors to introduce themselves openly and honestly by answering an assortment of questions you may not have typically asked in a first meeting. When connecting with mentors, we wanted to go beyond the autopilot, job interview description and wanted to reveal  personality, energy and truth. We want you to seek mentors based on vibe and honesty, not necessarily just what they do for work.

During mentorship. Obviously these will evolve overtime, they will also be co created with the youth.
At the moment, I see this more as questions centered around the answers to the pre mentor questions about values, expectation and communication

How are you connecting with your mentor?

Is there an issue, you'd like support navigating?

How would you describe communication?

Have you had a mindset shift or even noticed an improvement in your life after a session with your mentor?

Are your needs being met? What needs to change if not?
role play a conversation?

Do you want to stay with your mentor? Are you interested in switching?

Questions to unpack pre mentor set up

What do you want this to add to your life? At the end of this, what is something that would have made it a worthwhile experience?

What kind of mentorship are you looking for? Long term, short term?

How many times a month do you want to connect with the mentor?

Should there be a trial period?-- How long? What should be done during this time? Are you meeting multiple mentors like the bachelorette and only giving one the final rose in the end?

How will you let other potential mentors know that you've moved on?

What kind of support would be most valuable to you? What does that look like? (both from your mentor and everyone here)

Do you want to create a set of goals that we track?

Co Create Community Agreements, which are then used as a grounding factor at the start of each meeting/check in with the  whole group

Prior to meeting with mentors, we want to support the creation of the agendas taken to mentors--unpack expectations, wants, needs and hopes

During the duration of the mentorship we want to continue to evaluate and discuss learnings and the connections itself, is this working, how do you know?

At the end of the mentorship--How did it go? what was valuable? What did you appreciate about the connection itself?
