Mentoring
Our Program
At Warrior Mentoring, mentoring is more than simply giving advice—it's about building a relationship based on trust, encouragement, and growth.
We push our teens to grow by helping them to ascend in rank through the program by completing their assignments of courage challenges, inspiring books and movies, and personal projects.
Self-Development
Homework
We assign homework so that the teens can be progressing even while away from their mentor. We have three major homework areas, they are: education, courage challenges, and personal projects.
Education
The teens have a choice between reading a book or watching a movie and writing a paper about it.
The book list includes titles like:
-
How to Think Like a Monk
-
Do Hard Things
-
How to Talk to Anyone
The movie list includes titles like:
-
Wonder
-
True Spirit
-
Soul Surfer
-
October Sky
Courage Challenges
Help teens build confidence, skills, courage, and healthy habits through new experiences and weekly challenges.
Examples:
-
Cook a meal by yourself
-
Fix something in your house
-
Take public transit by yourself
-
Go on a solo hike
Personal
Projects
Students will choose one courage challenge to expand into a larger project to help develop initiative, follow-through, and independence.
Examples:
-
Budget and go shopping to cook all meals for one entire day.

Ranking System
We use medieval ranks of knighthood as our system to show progress. We have found that by making self-development fun, teens get a lot more done. The teens can progress through their homework and ranks at their own pace, moving as slow or fast as they would like.
