Building Strong Families

STUDENT’SCONTRACT

(To Be Completed and Given to the Mentor)

I

make this contract with my mentor

to participate in this program with good intentions.

I will read the chapters and participate in the weekly sessions.

I will genuinely and respectfully consider what my mentor shares with

me but will also feel free to express my opinions.

I will not share other people’s private information outside

of our cell group.

I also understand that my mentor has a busy schedule just like mine and

there may be times when it will be necessary to reschedule.

I will be understanding when this happens.

I will view this interaction as an opportunity to share wisdom which will

benefit me for years to come.

“How much better is wisdom than gold,

and understanding than silver!”
