  • Mentoring Program

    MENTORING: THE GOAL OF THE MENTORING PROGRAM IS TO PAIR SEASONED PROFESSIONALS WITH PEOPLE NEW TO THE FIELD, THOSE TRANSITIONING JOB RESPONSIBILITIES, OR THOSE SEARCHING FOR ADDITIONAL NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES. MATCHES ARE BASED ON GOALS, LOCATION, INTEREST, AND THE TYPE OF NONPROFITS THEY SERVE. MENTORS/MENTEES HAVE ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, ATTEND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS, AND PARTICIPATE IN VARIOUS MENTORING EVENTS. IN 2022, THERE WERE SIX MENTORING PAIRS PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM, REPRESENTING A WIDE VARIETY OF NONPROFITS, SKILL LEVELS, AND INTERESTS. SINCE 2018, MORE THAN 110 MEANINGFUL MENTORSHIPS HAVE BEEN FORMED.
