empowerment of young people through mentoring
persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen
Across all age groups, youth described feeling both tangibly and emotionally empowered through mentoring. Middle schoolers relayed experiences in which mentors helped them develop a new skill or a feeling of confidence to do what they previously did not think they could do. Mentors empowered them through instrumental support, practical advice, guidance, role-modeling of behavior, and verbal encouragement.

Evaluierung der Aktivität
The focus group method was chosen to produce insights that are fostered through group dynamics. The moderator directs questions to a group of 4–12 participants who then respond, validate, challenge, and expand on each other’s statements. This study’s focus group method (Millward, 2000) involved using a semi-structured format, with questions focused on the participants’ relational experiences with mentor figures. In each focus group, the facilitators evolved from asking more general to more specific questions.
