{Abstract}: The Youth Enjoy Science program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center has engaged American Indian/Alaska Native youth in mentored cancer research internships from 2017 to 2022. The primary purpose of this study was to examine mentor and mentee lived experiences of participation in Youth Enjoy Science research education internships and to provide insights that can inform mentorship practices in research education programs for American Indians/Alaska Natives. We conducted semi-structured interviews with current and former Youth Enjoy Science mentees (n=8) and mentors (n=8). Following a narrative inquiry research approach, we analyzed interview transcripts and collectively re-storied interview data. Participants described program characters, settings, problems, actions to address the problems identified, and resolutions that led to various recommendations for ways to raise contextual awareness between mentees and mentors.
