                      Resource Spotlight!

As a follow up from our most recent training you can now find great resources in our Drop Box from MSU Extension about "Career Access".
Check it out!

Resource Spotlight - Lauren Silver

Lauren Silver, who is serving at Alpena Public Schools, designed a mentee application that works as a great Get To Know You sheet when working with your students or mentees!

Financial Aid Training Resources

During our November training, the campus and blended members heard from Shannon Price from Student Scholarships and Grants. We are working now to get her resources out to mentoring members as well!

Express Your Leadership Style!

If you identified with one of the four types of leadership defined during November's training, here's one way to embrace it! As the goal of the training was to focus on the positive attributes you bring to a group make a "Word Cloud" of those attributes.

RESOURCES:

Article: "Mentoring: A Life Changing Relationship"
This is the most recently posted article on MSU Extension's "Mentoring" page written by Lisa Bottomley. It tells of the benefits mentors receive from volunteering their time - a good read if you need help motivating your mentors!

Webinar: "Men in Mentoring"
Most mentoring programs across the country struggle with male mentor recruitment. You are not alone! Register and attend this webinar BY Mentor Michigan to gain tips and resources to focus your efforts on male mentor recruitment.
December 6th at 10:00AM

Website: National Children's Alliance Directory
Kerry Hochradel, serving with MSU Extension for Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties, shared this website with us to find child abuse support centers in your area if needed. We recommend using the zip code search tool instead of the advanced search.
