Match Activity Ideas

In Your School

Activities are a great way to do something with purpose while deepening the connection between the mentor and mentee. Below are engaging activities for the mentoring pair. They are organized by the Relationship Cycle.

Building Trust | Exploring Possibilities | Navigating Rough Spots | Continuing the Cycle

Navigating Rough Spots

• Mentee may start pulling away
• Uncomfortable feelings may arise
• Remain committed
• Seek outside support
• Clarify boundaries

In this stage, the mentee may begin to pull away from the mentor. Uncomfortable feelings often arise as the mentee is often testing boundaries. In this stage, it becomes increasingly important for the mentor to remain committed to the match and seek outside support from the Mentor Coordinator or others.
