Mentoring is a relationship in which an older person provides ongoing guidance, instruction, and encouragement to another, younger individual, usually a youth, with the goal of further developing that individual's competence and character (Rhodes, 2002a). Typically viewed as older and wiser, mentors develop supportive relationships with younger youth, who are referred to as mentees or protégés.Natural versus Program-Based MentoringA major distinction in the definition of mentors and mentoring relationships is between natural mentors and program-based mentors.
