520 |a National Youth Sports Program (NYSP) participants (N=8) were interviewed using a semi-structured interview approach concerning their perceptions of mentoring. Five male and 3 female participants ranging in age from 11 to 15 were interviewed. Questions were written using a phenomenological strategy and data were analyzed using content and comparative analyses. Results suggested the characteristics of a mentor, mentoring behaviors, and identified preferences for a mentor. Participants felt it most important that there was someone who was supportive, trustworthy, and willing to talk to them and spend time with them. Participants did not feel that mentors were important in a program such as NYSP, yet named several staff members who were possible mentors. Findings suggest that although mentoring may be a part of recreation programs, participants may not be expecting assigned mentors. A conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that mentoring does take place in recreation programs, many times without the mentor and protege realizing it is occurring.
