SUMMARY:Connect | Focus | Grow - Region 1 (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:The Connect | Focus | Grow training was developed as part of the National Mentoring Project\, a pilot project  managed by MENTOR in partnership with the America’s Promise Alliance / Center for Promise and with support from the Schultz Family Foundation. The National Mentoring Project aims to expand the web of quality relationship supports and social capital that younger employees/mentees/interns need to develop the skills necessary to successfully navigate the workplace including securing and sustaining employment. Underlying this training is MENTOR’s guiding vision\, which is that all younger employees\, mentees\, and interns have access to a web of support from  caring adults and can form empowering relationships that: \n\nPromote the pursuit of the younger employees/mentees/intern’s passions\, skills and interests\nEnable younger employees/mentees/interns access to and exploration of spaces where these can be pursued\nHelp younger employees/mentees/interns overcome personal and/or institutional obstacles\n\nThis vision is underpinned by the approach MENTOR uses to help adults and younger employees form relationships\, which is grounded in positive development and youth-centrism. This approach: \n\nRecognizes that young people are assets and experts about themselves and their communities\nSupports young people in identifying and building strengths\nBrings young people and adults together to work as equal partners as appropriate\nBuilds young people’s connections to their own identity\, culture and community helping them to see  their own social capital and supporting the extension of social capital through mentoring\nEngages young people as leaders on issues that matter to them\n\nDate: Tuesday\, May 14th \nTime: 11:00pm - 12:30pm \nRegister to attend! \nMeet Your Facilitator: \nDwayne Bennett has been with MENTOR Virginia for over a decade\, first as a mentor\, and now as Lead Trainer and a Technical Assistance Consultant. During this time\, Dwayne has personally trained over 4\,000 mentors and mentees.
