SOUND STRUCTURE IS A PLUS
In the past, mentoring occurred naturally, but in today's world defined by rapid change, spontaneous mentoring relationships are much harder to come by. Instead of leaving mentoring to chance, organizations have found it advantageous to facilitate the mentoring process. A carefully
planned mentoring program helps to ensure the success of the matches, which in turn promotes major benefits for all participants.

During the initial design process, programs should consider developing the following materials:

    * Mentor and Mentee Training Manuals
    * A Policy and Procedure Manual
    * Program Forms
    * Parent Orientation Packet (For Youth Mentoring Programs)
