Proposed Code of Honor for Mentors

MENTOR'S CODE OF HONOR

No student will be pressured or even asked to accept any mentor’s core faith. We are going to create an environment where faith in God and faith in Christ are openly discussed and linked to personal education and mission. No one will feel that they need to be apologetic about their belief.

We will strive to provide:

outside positive influences; an inspiring peer environment allowing them to feel confidence in themselves; caring mentors; and opportunities to grow in faith and testimony.

We seek to:

-allow all participants to feel free to develop uniquely;

-challenge them to develop their personal inner strength, and encourage them to strengthen their faith in Christ as we show connections between personal beliefs/religion and education;

-encourage an increased sense of responsibility for own actions in their home and lives

(especially with regards to personal work ethic);

-provide a setting free of demeaning or harmful criticism.

The youth and leaders in this group will adhere to high moral standards, dress modestly, use clean language, and show respect towards mentors, visiting instructors and each other.
