Step 1: Define the goals of the mentor program

When starting a mentor program, first think about the goals of the program. When defining goals, it is useful to first start by identifying unmet needs:
  • What problems are not being addressed effectively for this individual in other ways?
  • How could a mentor help this individual with these problems or goals?
    The answers to these questions will help to define the goals of your mentoring program.
  • Will the goals be specific – for example, to mentor adolescents who are graduating from high school in their search for employment?
  • Or will the goals be general – for example, to provide support and collaborative problem solving for individuals with disabilities in educational, vocational, social, and family environments?
