Youth Mentor Training & Programs
Mentoring is an fundamental tool in helping children and youth find their way in life. Unfortunately, many youth lack natural mentors who can guide them through the often difficult task of growing up. Mentoring that is safe, effective and sustainable takes a dedicated team of people who can promote and manage the ministry. CAYM can help you build a new mentoring program or make your existing ministry more effective. Check out our Services to learn more.
Mentoring Across Cultures
Relating cross-culturally can be challenging. This is especially true when a mentor and mentee view the world through different lenses. In this video, Sherman Bradley opens our eyes and hearts to building trust across racial and ethnic lines. Sherman shares from his life, the scriptures, and through decades of work in cross-cultural ministry in Cincinnati.
