Progress

The project team will produce some materials that support a national mentoring program. This will include a description of a Mentor, the qualities a Mentor requires, and what expectations a Mentee should have of their Mentor.

To develop these materials, the role of Bailly with Youth in the Society is an excellent reference point.
