TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Carlos Reis
Training course created in order to build
mentors' capacity to support volunteers, and to
help them to discover their skills and interest.
The objectives were:
- Clarify the role of the mentor in
volunteering projects;
- Underline the importance of mentoring in
the volunteer's development;
- Provide tools and methodologies for present
or future mentors to empower young people
taking part in volunteering projects (especially
those at risk of social inclusion or with fewer
opportunities);
- Develop strategies for fostering the
volunteer's learning path.
