This Mentoring Workbook is designed to be used by Peace Corps Volunteers to foster and maintain a mentoring relationship with youth in their community. Volunteers have been informally mentoring local youth for decades; this resource is intended to help Volunteers structure and guide those relationships toward evidence-based outcomes.
The Peace Corps defines youth as between the ages of 15–24, and this can be used as a general guideline for mentoring youth as well. Activities in this workbook may be appropriate for different age ranges, some for younger youth, and some for adolescents or older.
