Guide to Mentoring Boys and Young Men of Color
This Guide serves as a supplement to the Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring (EEPM) and includes additional recommended practices focusing on boys and young men of color (BYMOC). These additional recommended practices are emergent, based on recent research and recommendations from researchers and practitioners in the field.
The practices and resources discussed in this guide are useful to any mentoring program serving BYMOC to ensure that their services are culturally relevant and effective in changing lives and communities
The Guide is divided into two parts. Part one offers an overview of an approach to mentoring BYMOC, including a description of a strengths based and liberatory approach to mentoring called “critical mentoring”. This section discusses how this approach can support BYMOC, and concludes with a rationale for this new, emerging set of recommended practices.
Part two includes sections dedicated to each of the six Standards of practice in the fourth edition of the EEPM, including a list of additional recommended practices, and a discussion section that explains their theoretical basis and potential application in programs. Part two also includes references to supporting research and recommended tools, along with the EEPM checklist.
