The paper explores the institute of mentoring over orphans and children deprived of parental care. The special regulations regulating the mechanism of mentoring are analyzed, define the basic principles and basis: «Regulations on mentoring», «Model mentoring agreement», «Program of training mentors for children living in a facility for orphans and children deprived of parental care, another institution for children on social adaptation of children and their preparation for independent life», etc. The world experience of mentoring, its role and influence on the formation and development of children in need of friendly support of caring people is considered. The paper found out: subjects of mentoring (government agencies, social services, boarding schools, candidates for mentors and children); requirements for choosing a mentor and procedure for preparing for such activities; conditions of implementation and fulfilment of mentoring duties. The task of mentoring is to provide psychological and moral assistance to a child in preparation for independent life by obtaining knowledge of positive communication, life advice on adaptation to life in society, assistance in choosing a future profession, friendly advice of an experienced person, etc. It was established that mentoring is not adoption or custody and does not substitute them. Mentoring is a separate type of gratuitous activity, essentially volunteer work.
