Mentors provide guidance, support, and encouragement to help mentees set and achieve S.M.A.R.T. goals, develop positive relationships, and engage in activities that promote personal growth.

This is the price for mentees attending Rodeo Palms Jr. High School 2024-2025 school year.

Mentors are an integral part of the H.E.R. Mentorship Program, but they are not automatically assigned. Participants are encouraged to actively seek out a mentor who can provide personalized guidance and support. Ideal mentors can be a female staff member from the participant's school, church, or a family member who embodies the values of the program.

In situations where a girl has not secured a mentor, the program does offer solutions:

• School Staff and Volunteers: At some schools, staff members or volunteers may sign up to serve as mentors. These individuals are passionate about supporting young women in their personal and spiritual growth.
• Program Resources: If a mentor has not been asked by a girl to be her mentor, we will facilitate connections through announcements in our online courses and communities. This ensures that every participant has access to mentorship.

We encourage all participants to engage with the H.E.R. online community and courses where further information about securing a mentor and additional mentorship opportunities are regularly updated.

In the H.E.R. Mentorship Program, we welcome women of all ages to become mentors. We believe that wisdom and guidance can come from women at any stage of life, and we value the diverse perspectives and experiences that mentors from various age groups bring to our program. Whether you are a young professional, a seasoned expert in your field, or a retiree with a wealth of life experience, your insights and support can make a significant impact on the lives of young women seeking guidance and inspiration.

The frequency and format of meetings between mentees and mentors in the H.E.R. Mentorship Program are flexible and designed to accommodate the schedules and preferences of both parties. Mentors and mentees are encouraged to collaboratively set a meeting schedule that works best for both. Typically, meetings are held during the hours of 8 AM to 7 PM.

• Meeting Activities: During these meetings, mentors and mentees engage in various activities, including goal setting and mentor-mentee meet-up activities that foster personal and professional growth.
• Meeting Format: While we encourage in-person meetings to strengthen the mentor-mentee relationship, we recognize that scheduling conflicts may arise. Therefore, virtual meetings via platforms like Zoom are also supported to ensure consistent and productive interaction.
• Flexibility and Support: We encourage mentors and mentees to communicate openly about their availability and to adjust meeting times as needed throughout the mentorship period to ensure that the relationship remains strong and beneficial.

If you lose your charm or bracelet, replacements are readily available for purchase. Individual charms are priced at $5 each, bracelets at $10 each, and a full charm bracelet can be replaced for $50.

• Special Consideration for Graduates: If a mentee has completed the program and subsequently loses their full charm bracelet, they are eligible to purchase a complete replacement bracelet for a discounted rate of $50.
• For Students at Rodeo Palms Jr. High: If you are a student on the Rodeo Palms Jr. High campus, you will not be required to pay for shipping. You can pick up your replacement charm or bracelet directly from the program administrator at your convenience.
• For Other Participants: Participants not located on the Rodeo Palms Jr. High campus will need to pay a small shipping fee for the delivery of replacement items. Please contact the program administrator to arrange this.

We understand the sentimental and motivational value of these items in the mentoring experience and strive to ensure you have what you need to continue your journey with us.

• Online Course and Community: Engage with our dynamic online platform where we host challenges, upload educational and inspirational materials, and foster interactions among mentees and mentors.

4. Join the Meeting: At the scheduled time, click on the meeting link or enter the meeting ID on your Zoom app to join the session. Make sure your video and audio are working properly to have an effective meeting.
5. Discussion Agenda: It’s helpful to prepare an agenda or list of topics you wish to discuss beforehand. This preparation ensures that your meeting is structured and you cover all important points.
6. Follow-up: After the meeting, you might want to summarize what was discussed and outline any action items or goals for the next meeting. Sharing these notes with your mentor can keep both of you on track.

By following these steps, you can have successful and productive mentorship meetings virtually, ensuring continuous support and guidance no matter where you are.

Ensuring the safety of mentees in any program is paramount. Here are some common safety measures that might be implemented in the H.E.R. Mentorship Program:

Becoming a Jr. Mentor is an important responsibility that involves a commitment to both your personal and academic growth. If you have not completed all of your work, here’s how you can address this while considering the role of a Jr. Mentor:

1. Review Requirements: Ensure you understand the requirements for becoming a Jr. Mentor. This includes completing certain tasks or reaching specific milestones that demonstrate your readiness and capability to lead.
2. Speak with a Program Coordinator: Discuss your current situation with a program coordinator. They can offer advice on how to make up incomplete work and what steps are needed to qualify for a Jr. Mentor position.
3. Demonstrate Commitment: Show your dedication to the program by seeking ways to complete your missed work and fulfilling all necessary responsibilities. This may include additional assignments or tasks to showcase your leadership skills.
4. Apply for Conditional Acceptance: If permissible, apply for conditional acceptance to the Jr. Mentor role, where your complete acceptance might depend on finishing all outstanding work within a given timeframe.
5. Utilize Support Resources: Utilize any tutoring or support services provided by the program to help you complete your assignments and prepare for the mentoring role.
6. Continuous Improvement: Highlight your ongoing efforts towards personal growth and development. Active improvement can significantly influence your eligibility for a Jr. Mentor role.

Please Note: It is important to be aware that there will be no refunds for Jr. Mentor materials or experiences if the coursework is not completed. We encourage you to consider this commitment seriously and make sure you are able to meet all program requirements before enrolling or purchasing materials.

By proactively addressing your incomplete work and maintaining open communication with program staff, you can still pursue your goal of becoming a Jr. Mentor.

**1. Advanced Mentorship: As mentees become more comfortable and established within the program, the mentorship can shift to more focused areas of interest or need. Mentors might work with mentees to set more challenging goals and provide guidance on more complex issues such as advanced academic projects, leadership roles, or preparing for college or career paths.

**2. Leadership Development: The second year could introduce more intensive leadership training, including workshops or courses on leadership styles, decision-making, conflict resolution, and effective communication. This could also involve opportunities to lead smaller groups within the program, take on project management roles, or represent the mentorship program in external events.

**3. Specialized Workshops and Seminars: Building on the foundational skills from the first year, Year 2 can offer workshops that focus on specialized topics. These might include advanced financial literacy, professional etiquette, in-depth studies on wellness and health, or specific career-oriented skills like coding, writing, or public speaking.

**4. Community Engagement and Service Projects: Increasing the involvement in community service gives mentees a chance to apply their skills in real-world settings and make a tangible impact. This could be in the form of organized volunteer days, service projects, or partnerships with local organizations.

**5. Peer Mentoring: Second-year mentees might be given the opportunity to mentor newer members of the program, helping to reinforce their own learning and develop their mentoring skills. This peer mentoring can be a valuable leadership experience and a way to foster a supportive community within the program.

**6. Internships and Networking Opportunities: Introducing mentees to internships related to their areas of interest or planned career paths can be a key feature of the second year. Networking events with professionals in the field, alumni of the program, or other community leaders can also be beneficial.

**7. Capstone Projects: Mentees could have the opportunity to work on a capstone project that encapsulates their learnings and achievements from the first two years. This project could be presented at a year-end showcase to the community and program sponsors.

**8. Reflection and Feedback: Continuous feedback sessions and reflective practices can help mentees gauge their growth over the past two years and plan their future steps within or outside the program.

**9. Preparation for Year 3: For programs that extend beyond two years, preparation for the next phase could begin by identifying areas of interest that require more in-depth exploration or finding ways to take on greater responsibility within the program.

Yes, we are planning to introduce a H.I.M. Program, targeted at mentoring young men, similar to our H.E.R. Mentorship Program. We aim to launch this initiative in a few years. We are currently in the planning stages, working on developing a curriculum and structure that will effectively address the unique needs and challenges faced by young men. Stay tuned for updates and developments on this exciting new program!

In your initial H.E.R. Kit, both mentees receive Part 1 of the Mentee and Mentor Workbook, the Mentee and Mentor Manuals and Mentor Workbook Guide, and Part 1 of the HER Time Meetings Books. We designed this initial distribution to give you the essential materials needed to get started with the program effectively.

The remaining curriculum books are scheduled to be distributed in January. The delay is due to our commitment to providing the most effective and well-prepared resources. Some parts of our curriculum are still undergoing the final stages of the publication process to ensure they meet our high standards for quality and relevance.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we finalize these materials, and we are excited to provide you with complete resources that will support your journey in the H.E.R. Program.
