WELS Congregational Services Mentor Training Course
The MN River Valley Mentoring program was honored to be asked by WELS Special Ministries to help create and produce a mentor training program. The link above will take you to a recorded training seminar conducted by two of our mentors. It’s a free, self-paced course that includes videos of each segment of training and downloadable workbooks. Although it is geared towards mentoring a returning citizen, it’s applicable in many forms of mentoring – many of which are touched on throughout the course.
