What can I do this week with my mentee?

Our office often hears this question. Mentees need to be exposed to new experiences. Sharing your personal stories, trips you have taken, your career, and your hobbies are always great activities. The following list may also be helpful in filling this hour with activities that are fun and may trigger discussion.
  • You could check out the same book from the school media center; read it at the same time; and discuss it every week.
  • Plan an imaginary trip together. Research a place and plan a weeks worth of sites to see.
  • Research a holiday and its origin.
  • Make "Happy Cards" for sick children in the hospital.
  • Shoot some hoops.
  • Make a scrap-book together.
  • Read the newspaper and discuss current events.
  • Research Lincoln, NE.
  • Make a cookbook together: bring your cookbooks and have them pick recipes they could make themselves; or make the cookbook as a gift for their mother or grandmother.
  • Begin talking about post secondary education. Look online at different schools.
  • Discuss what they enjoy doing and what they want to be when they grow up. Get online and research different careers.
  • Research sports teams.
  • Follow a sports team together, and each week talk about the games and the players. Make predictions together for the next week’s game.
  • Play card games or board games and record the winner each week. Keep a record of these games, so when the mentee graduates from high school you can recall your times together.
  • Research an animal.
