MESSAGE TO MENTORS

Start of 2023-24 School Year

DEAR MENTOR,

Week of April 10th

This week we are talking about resistance skills. Vaping is an increasing risk in our youth populations. The "resistance" asset is the perfect time to watch the below video with your mentee or on your own to stay informed about the dangers of vaping. Thanks for starting conversations about healthy choices with your student!

Don't forget to check out our upcoming field trips to increase structured use of time for your youth... this helps with resistance!

Neighborhood Huddle

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!
