Many may view planning as a 'boring chore' which is often viewed as an ‘inconvenient’ step on the path to success. However, StreetWork recognises that its core to the success of our KickStart Mentoring Program & therefore proven to be of great assistance to young people (YP). Without proper planning, we see the evidence of YP slipping back into their risky habits.
The goal plan as part of the mentoring program has a number of purposes:
* It empowers the YP to take ownership of their steps towards change
* It allows for reflection & a sense of achievement as tasks are completed
* It introduces the YP to other areas of support in their community
* It sets expectation for future challenges and steps to prepare
* It creates a positive sense of purpose in the YP’s life
Why not start your plan today … start by putting pen to paper on what goal you want to achieve. You then only need to break it down & start planning how you are going to achieve the goal you have set. Go on ... take the first step to achieve you goal by starting your plan.
