Paraclete (perəˌklēt): Greek noun meaning “The one who comes alongside to help.”
This is how we envision your role as a Kaleo Academy Mentor; coming alongside a student to help them through their journey. This may be your first mentoring experience, so we hope to offer you a bit of information about what mentoring is and what it is not.
“Mentoring is the critical link in developing, protecting, and optimizing Christian leaders for the next century!” Bobb Biehl (a pioneer author on the topic of mentoring) in Mentoring: How to find a mentor and how to become one.
Your goal as a Mentor will simply be to help the student reach their God-given potential.
Mentoring Is:
- Companionship
- Camaraderie
- Correction
- Friendship
- Modeling your Christian journey
- Listening
- Living life together
You will be provided many more resources and formal training prior to beginning your time as a Mentor through Kaleo Academy. Thank you for your willingness to commit to this year with your student. We pray you are both transformed together in Christ as you help your student pursue their calling!
