Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is passionate about youth mentoring and coaching, there are many meaningful gifts that you can consider that would not only show your support for his interests, but also help him further develop his skills and make a positive impact.

1. Book on Youth Mentoring: Look for books written by established mentors or experts in the field of youth mentoring and coaching. Choose a title that covers topics like effective communication, mentorship techniques, and understanding the needs of young people. This will provide him with valuable insights and guidance.

2. Membership to a Professional Organization: Research professional organizations in the field of youth mentoring and coaching and consider gifting your son a membership. These organizations often provide networking opportunities, resources, and training programs that can help him enhance his knowledge and skills.

3. Volunteer Opportunities: Find local organizations or community centers that offer volunteer opportunities in youth mentoring. A gift certificate or a promise to facilitate his involvement in such programs would allow your son to gain hands-on experience, learn from other experienced mentors, and make a difference in the lives of young people.

4. Coaching Training Course: Look for coaching training courses or workshops that specialize in youth coaching. This would provide your son with formal training and certification, ensuring that he is equipped with the tools and techniques necessary for effective coaching.

5. Journal or Reflection Book: Encourage your son's self-reflection and growth by gifting him a journal or reflection book. This will allow him to document his experiences, reflect on his mentorship journey, and set goals for personal and professional development.

6. Personalized Mentorship Gear: Consider personalized items such as a custom-made coaching notepad, a mentorship-themed t-shirt, or a coffee mug with an inspiring quote about mentorship. These thoughtful gifts will show your support for his passion while also serving as conversation starters.

7. Mentorship Podcasts or Webinars: There are numerous podcasts and webinars available that cover topics related to youth mentoring and coaching. Find some reputable ones and compile a list for your son, or even gift him a subscription to a platform that offers access to a wide range of mentoring-related content.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is showing that you value and support your son's interests. By selecting a gift that aligns with his passion for youth mentoring and coaching, you are not only acknowledging his dedication but also providing him with resources and opportunities to further his knowledge and make a difference in the lives of others.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
