Friends for Youth’s Mentoring Institute continues to support the mentoring field with the Academic Activity Guide, a best seller since 2003, providing fun and learning experiences for mentors and mentees to do together.
Research studies show that improvements in academic areas take place after the mentoring relationship has been developed. Learning activities can be enjoyable and helpful in building the relationship. They also have the most impact when both mentors and mentees want to engage in them voluntarily.
The Academic Activity Guide is a collection of learning activities and projects designed by educational professionals specifically for mentoring programs. Areas of focus include science, social studies, math, personal development, language, and art. These activities not only provide opportunities to develop academic skills but also offer gateways to inspire further discovery and learning about each other and the world.
