If you were to start a Mentorship program for Muslim teens in your area, what would be the areas you’d want to familiarize yourself with and give advice on?
???
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
Many are not gender specific like:
Learn to be confident.
Self control and discipline.
Education and its importance.
Choosing a good career.
Adapting to the surrounding culture and peer pressure.
etc.
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
To go along with the first topic, ( cuz a person usually knows when they're being forced).... maybe something on how to deal with a forced marriage situation /resources to turn to...(that's a frequent question in this forum).
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls

Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
I think sex educations often gets missed out, and it's quite important. You could also have topics like children/parenting (hey there are some young broody teenagers out there!), the idea of beauty, ummm flower arranging??
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
Well in teenage you always need someone who can tell you about the things that you are most curious about i.e. Sex & changes in your body , Marriage , Education & Job/career path . These are common among guys and girls . Its better to get that advice from some experts rather than your friends . I think if you'll conduct some seminars and call some experts on these topics then it could be very useful .

Everyone needs a mentor or a teacher in her/his life at some point, especially if you're in your teens and even if you have good parents.

Not all parents have the ability to talk to their kids in an articulate manner and a mentor isn't a random dude, a mentor is someone who's directly in contact with his pupils' parents and the parents know him and trust him.
Just like we have a sports coach, we have mentors for spiritual and moral training, as a parent it's our duty to facilitate good company of teachers/mentors and friends for our kids.
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
^And would be a professional....someone who is skilled in articulating/discussing the topics.
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
Sex Ed
Difference b/w Culture and Religion
Good Adab and Respect towards people
Eduction/Career Choices
Family Life and Issues
Sometimes it's not only about talking to them about stuff, but even simple things like taking them to a halal environment and they could still have fun and enjoy it and inshallah might want to go to halal enivoronments on their own, meet other people with similar outlooks as well.
