Heart of Passion (HoP) paves the way for a future of socially minded, personally responsible community and business leaders. Mentors are integral to achieving that goal!

Mentor teams of 3-5 young professionals work closely with each other and HoP program directors to both challenge and support their cohort of 15 teen leaders while the leaders plan their summer Red Carpet Day retreat completely on their own.

There is no such thing as an “ideal mentor” because we assemble a balanced and diverse team.  That said, successful mentors are go-getters who are organized, communicative, and resilient.

• Aug/Sept– Leader Selections
• Sept – 1.5-hour icebreaker kickoff and parent info session
• Oct – Overnight national leader training retreat
• Nov – Speed Networking
• Dec – April – one 3-hour workshop per month (plus one hour prep). Mentors rotate leading the HoP-provided curriculum and assisting other meetings.
• Monthly – check in with Mentor Group members for personal development and encourage. Provide parent updates as appropriate.  
• Regular and timely emailing, texting, and group messaging with leaders, mentors, and Heart of Passion.
• Summer – RCD, a four-day overnight retreat

The retreats are optional for members but heavily encouraged. The mentors set the schedule. They can expect to spend four hours of structured time plus at least two hours of unstructured time each month.
