Mentoring Resources for Boost Mentors

Welcome to the BOOST Mentoring Resources for Mentors. As a mentor in the BOOST Sport for Social Impact Accelerator, you play an important role in supporting emerging professionals to strengthen their organisations and to develop impactful Sport for Social Impact initiatives. Your experience, guidance, and professional insight help mentees navigate challenges, reflect on their ideas, and develop solutions that can create meaningful change in their communities. To support you in this role, the BOOST programme provides a set of mentoring resources and practical tools that accompany the learning programme and mentoring process. These materials are designed to help mentors structure mentoring sessions, facilitate constructive dialogue, and guide mentees through the development of their projects and organisational improvements. The resources include guidance documents, templates, checklists, and practical tools that support key elements of the mentoring process, such as setting expectations, documenting mentoring sessions, reflecting on progress, and applying the BOOST design thinking approach during the development of Sport for Social Impact initiatives. These materials are not intended as strict instructions, but as supportive resources that can help mentors facilitate meaningful mentoring relationships, encourage critical thinking, and support mentees in developing sustainable and impactful solutions. We encourage mentors to explore the materials, adapt them to their mentoring style, and use them as a reference throughout the BOOST mentoring journey. Together, these resources aim to support a structured, transparent, and effective mentoring experience for both mentors and mentees within the BOOST programme.
