The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has incorporated a new teaching program in their Sunday School classes for youth that parallels one of the basic principles of Vanguard Youth: that the youth should come prepared to share, teach, and learn from each other.
They have set up some training videos that, although they might not be comprehensive in application for an individual mentor's style or religion, there are truths to be gained and perpsective broadened when humbly viewed with the intent to seek truth.

A neat quote from Boyd. K Packer about the blessing of having the spirit in our classrooms:
Each of us must stay in condition to respond to inspiration and the
promptings of the Holy Ghost. The Lord has a way of pouring pure
intelligence into our minds to prompt us, to guide us, to teach us, and
to warn us. Each son or daughter of God can know the things they need to
know instantly. Learn to receive and act on inspiration and revelation. ("These things I know" April '13)
This is an incredible promise to mentors and youth alike!
Karen had the following to say:
"I thought this was so incredibly insightful that I had to share it!
Sometimes in a group like Vanguard or in your homeschooling environment,
you may wonder if you are "learning enough" since there are no grades,
no report cards and other measures. Elder Bednar shares some incredible
insight in this video about how to tell if we are progressing as we
should."
