If you were to ask Torie Weiston-Serdan about how it feels to be featured in Forbes, she would probably answer with one word: “humbled.”  Torie recently joined Jeremy on The Campfire to discuss her passion for critical mentoring and what it means to make a positive impact in the lives of youth. Plus, they go over the ways to be community-engaged, and what that looks like in CGU's MA program that Weiston-Serdan directs.  To learn more about Torie's work in critical mentoring, visit criticalmentoring.org.

Whether you complete your studies first or break it up with experiences in the working world, you're still going to gain the knowledge and you're still going to do the work. In today's episode, you'll hear from Dr. Torie Weiston-Serdan, a scholar and practitioner with over 15 years of teaching and youth programming experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Education from Claremont Graduate University and has established herself as a thought leader in the field of critical and culturally sustainable youth mentorship. Dr. Torie Weiston-Serdan is also the founder and executive director of the Youth Mentoring Action Network, a community-based nonprofit that mentors Californian, Inland Empire Youth through high school into college and careers. In today's conversation, she reflects on how her childhood and adolescent experiences in a suburban environment in the Inland Empire informed her research and resulted in the work she does today. She expands on her dedication to addressing the mentorship gap for Black, brown, and LGBTQ+ youth after seeing a lack of mentorship for that demographic during her research, how she benefited from working as a teacher while doing her Master's degree, and why she teaches her graduate students that you can only really understand all the theory you've been immersed in once you start applying it in the working world. Listeners can also expect plenty of insights into how to choose an institution based on the faculty members, especially if you are a prospective Ph.D. candidate, so make sure to tune in today!Connect with Dr. Torie Weiston-Serdan on LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, or on her website.

This episode features a conversation with Elizabeth Santiago, Chief Program Officer of MENTOR National, the Boston-based nonprofit that champions and advances the field of mentoring for youth. Liz’s personal experience as a young adolescent in middle school, and as a child of an under-resourced family who migrated from Puerto Rico to Boston, is a key driver in her professional work and showcases the potential that mentoring relationships can have in supporting young people who, like she once did, feel disconnected and disengaged and stop showing up.Liz and Jason talk about the need young people have for representation of voices like their own, the gaps in mentoring opportunities for youth and ways MENTOR is addressing them, how the organization works with school systems and companies to set up and expand mentoring programs, and how to support mentors and mentees who hail from different backgrounds and communities from each other to engage in challenging conversations about our world, like racial inequity and political strife.Additional Readings and ResourcesMENTOR National“The Mentoring Effect: Young People’s Perspectives on the Outcomes and Availability of Mentoring,” a report for MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership by Civic Enterprises in association with Hart Research Associates, Mary Bruce and John Bridgeland, January 2014“Social and Emotional Development in Early Adolescence: Tapping into the Power of Relationships and Mentoring Success Mentors,” Delia Hagan, Bernadette Sánchez, Jason Cascarino, Kilian White, 2019Mentoring Amplifies: A New Campaign for the Mentoring MovementNational Mentoring MonthNational Mentoring SummitMy Brother’s Keeper Success Mentors InitiativeElements of Effective MentoringBlack Youth Town Hall, a youth-led community dialogue aimed at supporting young people as they process recent events and the state of race relations, hosted by MENTOR and Youth Mentoring Action NetworkReimagining Youth Work podcast, hosted by Dr. Torie Weiston-Serdan, Executive Director, Youth Mentoring Action NetworkEveryday Mentoring, The Mentoring Partnership of Southwestern PANational Mentoring Resource Center

An "in-house" conversation with two Youth Mentoring Action Network staff, this episode is a discussion about the critical mentoring and youth work done here at the Youth Mentoring Action Network, how we see our selves, how we see our work and what we are trying to contribute to the field of mentoring and youth development. Highlighting our Director of Training and Outreach, Cade Maldonado, as well as our Director of Programs, Isabella Chavez, we openly discuss our approach, our values, our politics and how we vision the future of youth work. Cade Maldonado is a native Angelino and is dedicated to applying theory to practice in the youth development field. Before joining YMAN and completing his M.Ed., Cade managed the CASA Pitzer Academic Program and Community Space for three years, engaged in both research and organizing work ranging from youth mentoring to immigration to environmental justice. He now maintains and runs all of YMAN's outreach and training efforts in the Inland Empire and nationally. Isabella Chavez serves as the Youth Mentoring Action Network's Program Director. As Program Director, Isabella oversees the various programs and events hosted by YMAN. As a protege of Dr. Torie Weiston- Serdan and product of ‘The Network', Isabella is uniquely situated to speak on the ‘real-life' effects of a critical mentoring relationship as elaborated in Critical Mentoring: a Practical Guide. Isabella has a BA in Public Policy from UC Riverside as well as a community fellowship with Claremont McKenna College covering research and data collection for social change.

Youth Mentoring Action Network (YMAN) is a youth-centered program that works to prepare young people for life, college, and career. It’s co-founder, Torie Weiston-Serdan is a scholar-practitioner with over 13 years of teaching and youth programming experience. She’s the author of Critical Mentoring: A Practical Guide. Her mentoring philosophy values equity, and centers young people as partners, not the recipients of mentoring. YMAN is successful by all measures—not just because their students have a 100% high school graduation rate, 98% of those students go to college, and of the students who go to college, 100% of them stay in. But more importantly, the students are teachers and partners in the program’s outcomes. In this episode of In Times Like These, Weiston-Serdan and board member Rocky Bragg help us understand the power of radical constructivism, why relationship always comes first, and how love has the power to free us.
