Leadership Development & Mentoring Program

Focuses upon cultivating and maintaining positive leadership characteristics and practices through curriculum supported training and mentoring focused initiatives. An action oriented concept that is viable, robust, and capable of longevity, while not simply offering a duplication of existing social services, each quarter, the “T.I.E.S. that Bind” Leadership Development and Mentoring program provides Leadership Development training for students from ages 9-23 who are in middle school through College.

 

Program Delivery

A one by three model:

A Mentor commits to connect with a Mentee at least once a week every month, (can be phone call, in person, etc.) every month, for 12 calendar months.

A Mentor makes the commitment to stay connected with a mentee for at least one year until all the modules are completed.

A Mentor commits to attend a quarterly celebration each quarter or every three months to recognize and fellowship with their mentees at a group event held by the LOT Initiative the event also allows mentors to connect and discuss best practices.

*Special note:

For ages 14-23 (Has the Leadership Development Component with the SLPI completed)

For ages 9-13 (The Leadership Development component does not include the SLPI Assessment)

A Mentor must go through a Two day training offered by the LOT Initiative (Typically on a Friday and Saturday held each quarter) before becoming a Mentor and receiving their materials and Modules instruction. It will be their responsibility to make sure the Mentee is grasping the content and understanding the curriculum modules. The staff of the LOT Initiative will be available to go over any questions or if there is a need to clarify the curriculum modules.

Mentees must take “The Student Leadership Challenge” Assessment before entering the TIES that Bind Leadership Development and Mentoring Program to establish a baseline for their understanding and practice of Leadership (For ages 14-23).
