Program Managers (PMs) are responsible for ensuring all mentors experience a consistent baseline of support in during teh year in which their mentee is an 11th grader.  As such, PMs are charged with providing an intentional support touch point to every mentor on their caseload once in the fall.  The focus of these touch points is checking in with mentors regarding the health of their mentoring relationship, the frequency of engagement with their mentee and progress toward relevant program goals.  Support during this contact should revolve around helping mentors develop a strong personal relationship with their mentee, establish healthy pair engagemnt habits and work towards the development of a robust list of post-secondary options with their mentee.  

This article provides resources for planning, executing and documenting these intentional mentor support contacts.
