MESSAGE TO MENTORS

Start of 2023-24 School Year

DEAR MENTOR,

Week#4 Caring Neighborhood

Last week, we encouraged you to complete a sparks survey (linked below) with your mentee. This week, we invited several students to school day field trips based upon their spark! If you haven't already done so, please fill out the survey below and be sure to follow along on social media for updates about field trips and stories of impact happening in our huddle county-wide!

Sparks Survey

Finally, be sure to take a look at our Field Trip roster for 2026-27. Optional: consider of 2-3 field trips you could attend that your mentee would enjoy. Talk with them about whether you'd like to meet at the 2 hour field trips together. We will send home a permission form for your mentee to coordinate attendance with their adults. Questions? Ask your Site Coordinator for more details.

40 DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS

Weekly Guidance on our highlighted Developmental Asset:

This week, OHuddle is highlighting the asset of "Caring Neighborhood." Please read the guidance below and be sure to fill out the exit slip on your lanyard EVERY week! We use your feedback in our monthly data meeting in support of your child.

Ask your Site Coordinator about this week's optional project OR use the Neighborhood Huddle app at the left button below.

40 Developmental Asset List

Did you know that your youth has a chance to leverage their weekly asset project into a prize? When kids complete 10, 20, and 40 asset projects, they can win one of three prizes.

See your Site Coordinator for details and for information about how to use the Neighborhood Huddle App OR the paper passport below to track their progress.

HUDDLE HAPPENINGS

Want to get involved outside of your regularly scheduled time? Talk to your youth about meeting at a field trip or come to an OHuddle Hour for PD around self care. These add ons are optional but a great way to expand your involvement as a mentor.

Field Trip Details

Field trips leverage the developmental assets in new places. Talk to your Site Coordinator about the benefit of inviting your youth to 2 or 3 events this year.

All field trips provide youth dinner and free opportunities or giveaways to expand their horizons.

OHuddle Hours help YOU to put your own oxygen mask on to promote adult self care. These PD and giveaway sessions are scheduled three times per year in your building.

Keep in mind, even if you are not scheduled for mentorship on an OHuddle Hour day, you are welcome to come to your building for the session and takeaway. We appreciate all you do for our students!
