$ Ministering to At-Risk Children Through Mentoring (BeADisciple.com)

Course Dates:

July 31 – August 14, 2023

Children living in poverty grow up at high risk for passing that lifestyle on to their own children but a meaningful mentor program can be an effective tool in breaking that cycle. This course discusses the development of a missional mentor/mentee program, beginning by exploring how to choose participants in such a program. Terms and goals will be defined, including poverty (both generational and situational), and an examination of characteristics of Generations Y and Z.  Examples of policies and procedures will be available, so that you can see how these policies affect both mentors and students. You will leave the course with understanding of reporting, proper behavior, and authority within the program. 

Learners will be required to obtain a copy: Bridges Out of Poverty: Strategies for Professionals and Communities by Ph.D. Ruby K. Payne

This course is worth 1.0 CEUs.
