She will appreciate your thoughtful gesture, and you may consider giving money to organizations such as Big Brother Big Sister, Girls Inc., Boys and Girls Clubs of America, among others.

2. Personalized Photo Frame: You can gift her a personalized photo frame with the kids she has mentored. It’s a thoughtful way to remember those special moments with her mentees, and she can place it in her home or office as a constant reminder of the impact she has made.

3. Customized Mugs: You can get her a customized mug with a youth mentoring theme, complete with quotes, pictures, or images of young mentees. This gift will allow her to enjoy some warm beverages and also remind her of the gratifying work that she does.

4. Jewelry: A piece of jewelry is always a thoughtful option for a birthday gift, and it’s even better when it’s personalized to fit her love for youth mentoring. You might consider a charm bracelet with things that symbolize mentoring such as doves, hands, hearts and more.

5. Books: Gift her a book related to youth mentoring that she can read and learn more about. Some books she might enjoy include “The Mentoring Handbook” by Tom Andrew, “The Mentor’s Guide” by Lois Zachary or “Group Mentoring: Bridging Research and Effective Practice” by David Dubois.

6. Online Course: Look for an online course related to youth mentoring that she can take at her own pace. This way, she can learn more about mentoring while also contributing to her knowledge and skills as a mentor.

7. Personalized Gift Basket: If your grandma enjoys snacks and drinks, then you could create a personalized gift basket with her favorite items. Including healthy snacks like granola bars, trail mix, and also with some coffee or tea , with the youth mentoring books, mugs can make this an even better gift.
