Strategies to help youth mentoring organizations maximize success
The Indiana Youth Institute (IYI) and the Indiana Mentoring Partnership (IMP) will host an area workshop on strategies and best practices for screening adult mentors who work with youth. This seminar will provide an overview of how effective screening measures must include more than a background check.
The featured speaker is Candice Singleton, Outreach Manager for IMP, who has more than 10 years of experience in education, youth mentoring, youth development and higher education. Participants will learn best practice guidelines as well as receive some sample screening tools.
The café will take place on April 25 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. CDT at Dunebrook, 7451 W. Johnson Road, Michigan City, 46360. As part of IYI’s Youth Worker Café program, attendees will receive lunch at no charge.
While the event is free, attendees should RSVP by April 24 to Stephen Gill, IYI’s northwest Indiana field representative, at sgill@iyi.org or by texting (219) 314-9516.
This event is open to youth workers, parents, community leaders, youth ministers, educators, counselors, others working to impact the well-being of local youth and those interested in this topic. Youth Worker Cafés are designed to bring together local youth workers to build relationships and inspire collaborations that will benefit kids.
The Indiana Youth Institute promotes the healthy development of Indiana children and youth by serving the people, institutions and communities of Indiana that impact their well-being.
