Examining the definition of social justice, the full and equal participation of both groups (the one's providing service and the one's desiring service) such that there is a mutual cooperation and design of what justice looks like. Are we abiding by that definition when we mentor? Besides comfort that we are helping out, what are we receiving from service? While we are fulfilling a need from the partner, isn't that just a savior-complex in disguise?
For students to rely on us, rather than seek empowerment from themselves, might be considered problematic. Give a bit of insight to this via comment.
