How Step Up’s Mentorship Model Works
Step Up’s mentorship model is built on four pillars that characterize the experiences and relationships youth need to develop into young adults equipped for success.
We facilitate this development through a variety of career exploration, professional development, and social emotional learning programs. As a mentor, your role is to share your unique insights and to model participation in mentorship activities facilitated by Step Up staff.
Community and Connection
Leaning on the collective whole of the Step Up network to access opportunity and lifelong support
Social Emotional Learning Skills
Developing identity through self-awareness, self-mastery, and interpersonal skills
Career Practice
Gaining real-world experience through hands-on application, access, and support
