Share Your Story

Personal stories provide points of connection and remind us of the power of relationships to break down otherness, find common ground, and elevate shared humanity. That’s why MENTOR Vermont is collecting stories about mentoring in real life — stories from mentors, youth, programs, and anyone willing to elevate their voice and personal connection to mentoring.

Sharing Your Mentoring Story

Want to share your mentoring story but not sure where to start? There is no right way to write a story, but there are tips that can help:

Put people first. Focus on the individuals. Share as much detail about the people in the story and your connection to them as possible. Things to include:
- How you met
- Activities you do together
- What brought you together
- Memorable moments you’ve shared
- Most rewarding part of the relationship
- Challenges you’ve faced together
- What you admire most about them
- What you’ve learned from them
- How this relationship has surprised or changed you.

Keep it simple. When in doubt, write your story the way you would tell it. How would you tell your mentoring story aloud to a friend? Now write it down.

Paint the picture. Photos and videos help tell a fuller story and make sharing easier and more compelling. Selfies welcome! Please send photos, videos, art, recordings, etc. to info@mentorvt.org
