The National Mentoring Center in cooperation with the Florida Mentoring Partnership and the

Florida Partners in Education is pleased to offer sixteen sessions on mentoring related topics at

the Florida Partners in Education Conference, February 16 - 18, 2003 in Orlando, Florida. The

conference is expected to draw over 500 participants from the areas of education, youth services,

and delinquency prevention.

 

Eight of the sessions on mentoring topics that we will present will be open to all conference

participants. The other eight mentoring sessions will form a Mentoring Institute that requires

attendees to pre-register.

 

The Mentoring Institute

is designed for individuals who coordinate adult-to-youth mentoring

programs. The Institute will be a separate track of workshops within the Florida Partners in

Education Conference. Participants in the Institute are required to attend all eight sessions. In

addition to receiving all conference materials, registrants for the Mentoring Institute may also

attend all conference general sessions and luncheons. Topics covered in the Mentoring Institute

will include the following:

 

Elements of Effective Practice

Recruitment

Screening

Mentor and Mentee Orientation

Making the Match

Supporting the Match and Mentor Retention

Training Exercises

Building Trust and Match Closure

 

The Mentoring Institute is limited to the first 40 registrants. A registration information

link will soon be available via our website.

  

 

The other eight sessions that will be offered by the NMC at the conference include: National

Mentoring Research & Resources, Mentoring Elements of Effective Practice, Mentoring Models,
