Activity I
Use the “Eight Step” method for this activity. Participants will divide into
small groups and each group will be given a certain “problem” (e.g., a
mentee wants to run away from home). Together, the participants in the
group will go through each of the eight steps and discuss how they would
help to solve the problem.
In the steps listed below, write your response for each statement.
• Mentee gets pregnant and does not know what to do.
• Mentee wants to drop out of school.
• Mentee wants to start drinking and using drugs because his/her friends are
doing it.
• Mentee wants to join a popular gang that commits petty crimes.
• Mentee feels pressured into having sex with a boyfriend/girlfriend.
