"Mentors are most successful when they receive thorough training before working with young people and receive coaching and support throughout their involvement."

Spring 2024 Mentor Certificate Training Dates - for new mentoring volunteers:
- Sunday, February 4th, 10am-3pm, @ PBH
- Makeup: Sunday, February 18th, 10am-3pm, @ PBH
RSVP: https://www.tfaforms.com/5081883
If your volunteering has any in-person components, you must attend an in-person training to get the relevant and complete skills and information. This will include discussion of navigating being in touch with a mentee via electronic communication.
The mentor certificate is a four hour training course that is mandatory for new volunteers in PBHA mentoring programs, and strongly recommended for new PSN mentoring program volunteers. Volunteers should attend before beginning their mentoring relationship, and need only attend the training once.
The training covers:
- Stages of the Mentor/Mentee Relationship
- Mentoring Activities
- Communication Strategies
- Safety and Boundaries
Check with your program director about the time to register, or sign up individually! Contact Rebecca at sdc@pbha.org if you have any questions.
