  • Be open to new activities and new people

  • Modeling appropriate language
  • Helping others (especially mentees) when they’re having a problem
  • Encouraging everyone to follow the TEAM Goals & Expectations
  • Working with other mentors and facilitators to make sure all group members are having fun
