Why Mentorship Matters: Building Generational Bridges in Your Community

Mentorship is something you don’t often see in our world today, but it has so many benefits. It can bridge gaps in communities and help to have fresh perspectives on life. In this post I share why mentorship is so good and essential to bridge gaps in your communities.

TRANSFERRING KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

Something so beautiful about mentorship is how you can use the life skills you’ve built through your own experiences, and share that with others. There is something so authentic in sharing the hardship and successes with younger generations in order to help them grow and not make the same mistakes you did. It can help in careers and personal lives too.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE AND RESILIENCE

Mentorship can help build a persons confidence in life. It can help them to realise they can achieve their skills and desires in their lifetime because they have advice and personal accounts from others who may have been where they are now. If younger people are more confident in who they are and what they can do in their life, this in turn helps their local community too. You never know if a mentee becomes the mentor again.

DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES

Mentorship is such a great way to connect people who wouldn’t usually connect. It encourages people from different walks of life to interact and share their experiences through life. Doing this helps everybody overall. Youth counselling is a great example of this. As humans we tend to stick with those we know and surround ourselves with. Mentoring helps connect people.

BUILDING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS

As you build a mentoring relationship and share personal experiences and help one another to grow, a great relationship forms. These types of relationships are special because you can often share alot of personal information with one another. As you are investing in somebody else’s future you cant help but create a connection with one another.

CONCLUSION

Mentoring is something that should be practiced in all walks of life. It can help bridge the gap in communities such as childcare Morayfield. By helping others, you’re allowing the experiences you’ve had in life to be shared so others don’t make the same mistakes you did. And you’re sharing how they can better their lives.
