It is important to use the mentoring sessions to discover key information on your mentee.

• Their level of education (GED/College)
  
• Their work experience
  
• Their parole plan
  
• Their family history and marital status
  
• Their church history and spirituality
  
• Drug and alcohol issues
  
• You need to discover community resources at their destination
  
• You may need to help them work on contacts in distant cities
  

You have an obligation to find out the nature of your mentee’s offense.
