Mentoring is about harnessing the philanthropic sector’s skills to benefit the next generation of fundraising leaders!
Our chapter’s mentorship program was created to support the personal and professional development of our members by providing access to an experienced veteran with in-depth knowledge and skills who can provide guidance and personalized support.
The mentor aims to develop excellence standards to make you a better philanthropy professional. He or she has a number of different objectives:
- Build your confidence
- Help clarify the goals you are pursuing
- Help you develop to your full potential
- Offer counsel on the basis of shared confidential information
- Provide new knowledge
- Expand your network
The mentor’s main role is more than answering questions, but prompting you to think differently and to evolve in a new direction with a focus on your social skills and your well-being.
