Mentor Connection

Self Reflection

Staying connected over the summer will require thought and action from you both. Create your game plan for staying in touch using the questions below!

WHEN: What days and times are best for you to check in?

WHAT: What, if any, activities would you like to complete?

CHALLENGES: Are there any challenges that would make it difficult to stay in contact over the summer? If so, describe what those challenges might be.

Think about 1-2 summer goals you would like to set for yourself. What makes these goals feel important to you and what steps will you take to accomplish them?
