Current Issues

Congratulations! You have constructed your mentoring program on firm ground, based it on a solid infrastructure, and used reliable supplies. You have even inspected it to ensure it fulfills its purpose. The final thing you need to do to ensure your program's quality is to consider some current issues that could blow your way … if they have not already done so.

No, these aren't hurricanes or tornados or blizzards. But if your program is not prepared to address these issues, they can have as big an effect as any natural disaster. On the other hand, some of these trends can be like winds of opportunity, if your program is ready for them.

You can enhance your program's durability and potential by keeping it on top of trends and issues in mentoring, like:

• Keeping the young people in your program safe
• Liabilities
• Innovations in mentoring
• Working together to advance your program and the mentoring cause

Start to get current on the trends, by examining child safety issues.
