In reading Mentor National's resource, "Becoming a Better Mentor," we were reminded of the importance that mentoring relationships are a give and take partnership. In the chapter 8, Honoring Youth Voice and Building Power, they conclude by saying, "Mentoring works when adults teach young people things, be it new skills or viewpoints, they didn’t know before. At the same time, all youth also have the potential to teach adults things they didn’t know before. If this is happening in an authentic way, your mentoring relationship will be successful."

This month, let's remember to be there for young people by having fun together, and being open to learning something from a young person!

Being productive is something our culture puts lots of emphasis on. As mentors, parents, teachers, coaches and friends -we all strive to support youth in being productive, happy contributing members of our community. This article, "THE IMPORTANCE OF FUN; WHY HAVING "FUN" IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS "PRODUCTIVITY" is a great read to remind us of the importance of fun. The article explains why having fun is important, and offers suggestions for how we can model fun, and set time aside for fun with youth -  for the well being of our whole community.
