Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countless adults today lament the loss of our culture’s young men to drugs and debauchery, to drunkenness, video games, and pornography. The cry goes up, “Today’s boys will never be fit to be husbands and fathers!” Blaming boys is not the solution. Men are. Or, to be precise, men who help boys become the real men they are supposed to be. Real men crush evil wherever it threatens the good. They speak the truth. They love and protect the beautiful. In defeating bullies and in fighting just wars, real men ensure the safety and well-being of the innocent and vulnerable. How can we teach our boys to become real men? In these wise pages, Fr. Peter Michael Henry explains the process in detail. Using history, philosophy, psychology, sociology and sacred scripture – and a large dose of age-old common sense – Fr. Henry instructs every man who is a dad, grandfather, uncle, coach, teacher, or youth minister how to raise up even unruly boys into the heroic, virtuous real men our world so desperately needs.

Download or read book Critical Mentoring written by Torie Weiston-Serdan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the concept of critical mentoring, presenting its theoretical and empirical foundations, and providing telling examples of what it looks like in practice, and what it can achieve. At this juncture when the demographics of our schools and colleges are rapidly changing, critical mentoring provides mentors with a new and essential transformational practice that challenges deficit-based notions of protégés, questions their forced adaptation to dominant ideology, counters the marginalization and minoritization of young people of color, and endows them with voice, power and choice to achieve in society while validating their culture and values.Critical mentoring places youth at the center of the process, challenging norms of adult and institutional authority and notions of saviorism to create collaborative partnerships with youth and communities that recognize there are multiple sources of expertise and knowledge. Torie Weiston-Serdan outlines the underlying foundations of critical race theory, cultural competence and intersectionality, describes how collaborative mentoring works in practice in terms of dispositions and structures, and addresses the implications of rethinking about the purposes and delivery of mentoring services, both for mentors themselves and the organizations for which they work. Each chapter ends with a set of salient questions to ask and key actions to take. These are meant to move the reader from thought to action and provide a basis for discussion.This book offers strategies that are immediately applicable and will create a process that is participatory, emancipatory and transformative.
Download or read book The Cross Age Mentoring Program CAMP for Children with Adolescent Mentors written by Michael Karcher and published by Developmental Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cross-Age Mentoring Program (CAMP) for Children with Adolescent Mentors is a school-based, after-school program designed to provide groups of teenage mentors the structure, guidance, and support needed to effectively mentor younger children. CAMP targets improvements in both the children's (mentees') and the adolescents' (mentors') connectedness to school, teachers, family, peers/friends, and self (where connectedness is defined as positive affect toward and consistent engagement in contexts, relationships and activities). A year-long connectedness curriculum (for 4th-6th grade mentees) targets multiple domains of connectedness with domain-specific activities (e.g., projects involving teachers and parents). Guidelines are presented for staff and experienced mentors to create new activities for subsequent program years or for different youth populations (e.g., for middle school age or health promotion specifically). CAMP is a universal or primary prevention program intended and appropriate for hybrid groups of youth at varying levels of risk for academic, social, or behavioral problems (the ratio of high to low risk mentees should not exceed 1:5). In CAMP youth meet in mentor-mentee dyads within a small group setting (

Book excerpt: Written by a father and real estate executive, From Boys to Men - Mentoring your Son For A Lifetime of Success takes the structure of traditional goal setting to help parents guide their teens to become successful young adults - from middle school and high school to college and beyond.The author took what he learned over decades of corporate leadership trainings and retreats, and created his own annual retreats for him and his son. From age 12 to 18, these one-on-one structured vacations of sorts became the highlight of their father and son summers together. This is the time when valuable lessons were passed down, healthy mindsets were instilled and ambitious goals fitting the child's age were set. Jay Rollins has taken the curriculum he created and placed it in an easy-to-use guide book that parents can walkthrough with their sons to help set goals and create a clear focus for the future they desire. These lessons and conversations can be done in the form of private "retreats" or simply at the dinner table. Worksheets, exercises, and prompts make this reference book unique and actionable.We'll start by helping your son create their definition of what success looks like for them. This definition can be different for each individual.How can we help set up our teen boys to be goal-oriented, successful young men? What steps do we take as parents to help them set achievable goals? Is there a clear way to mentor my son to make good decisions? This workbook will answer those questions and give parents the tools needed to guide their kids towards a lifetime of success.

Download or read book Guide to Mentoring Boys and Young Men of Color written by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 25 years, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership has provided the youth mentoring field with a set of researched-informed and practitioner-approved practices for creating and sustaining positive and impactful mentoring relationships and strong program services. The fourth edition of "The Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring"" ("Elements") represents the current evidence-based standards for running a safe and effective youth mentoring program. This guide serves as a supplement to the "Elements" and includes additional recommended practices focusing on boys and young men of color (BYMOC). The creation of this guide is motivated by a recognition of MENTOR, My Brother's Keeper Alliance (MBKA), practitioners in the field, and researchers specializing in mentorship of youth of color that BYMOC are better served with a targeted set of practices, which represent enhancements of those in the original "Elements." The recommended practices found in this guide are emergent, based on recent research and recommendations from researchers and practitioners in the field. The "Guide" is divided into two parts. Part one offers an overview of an approach to mentoring BYMOC, including a description of a strengths-based and liberatory approach to mentoring called "critical mentoring." This section discusses how this approach can support BYMOC, and concludes with a rationale for this new, emerging set of recommended practices. Part two includes sections dedicated to each of the six Standards of practice in the fourth edition of the "Elements." Each of the six sections begins with a description of the original Standard and the rationale for its importance, followed by a list of the additional recommended practices, and a discussion section that explains their theoretical basis and potential application in programs. The following are appended: (1) Benchmarks and Enhancements of "The Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring""; (2) Glossary of Terms (with Explanation of Relevance to Mentoring); and (3) Methodology. Includes the fourth edition of "Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring"."
