Five Star Gift Ideas

As your dad is really into youth mentoring, you could look for a meaningful gift that directly relates to this interest. Here are some gift ideas that might inspire you:

1. Mentorship Book: If your dad is an avid reader or a mentor himself, you could gift him a book on mentorship. There are various books to choose from including The Mentor Leader: Secrets to Building People and Teams That Win Consistently, The Youth Worker’s Guide to Helping Teenagers in Crisis, and Mentoring: A Practical Guide. A book on mentorship could provide your dad with helpful tips and practices to improve his mentoring abilities.

2. Personalized Photo Frame: A personalized photo frame could be another great gift idea for your dad. You could choose a photo frame that has a mentorship quote or a sentiment that resonates with him. You could also consider including a photo of your dad with his mentee or mentees. This personalized gift would serve as a reminder of the meaningful work he does as a mentor.

3. Gift Certificate to a Youth Mentoring Organization: Consider gifting your dad a gift certificate to a youth mentoring organization that he could donate to. By doing this, your dad can support a great cause that relates to his interests, and help a young person in need. There are many organizations to choose from such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs, and Youth Mentoring Connection.

4. Mentoring Toolbox: A mentorship toolbox could be another great gift idea for your dad. You could gather mentoring guides, worksheets, and activities, that he could use to further help the young people he works with. Some great examples of useful mentorship resources include a goal-setting worksheet, conversation starters, and a mentor-mentee contract.

5. Personalized Mentorship T-Shirt: Another way to keep your dad motivated and proud of his role as a mentor is by gifting him with a personalized mentorship t-shirt. You could have a custom t-shirt printed with a mentorship slogan or phrase that he likes. Customize the t-shirt with his name or initials, to add a personal touch.

These are just a few ideas to get you started, but there are many other gifts that could be meaningful and personal to your dad. The most important thing is to choose a gift that demonstrates appreciation for his work as a mentor and his dedication to making a difference in the lives of young people.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
