One person, a few conversations, over a few months
Mentoring here is deliberately small. One or two people, a handful of conversations, and a specific thing they are trying to work out. It is not a permanent commitment and it is not therapy.
What it takes
About an hour a month, per person, for three to six months.
What you would do
- Take one or two mentees in an area you know well
- Meet or call roughly once a month
- Be honest about what you do not know
What we ask of you
- Reply to your mentee — the most common complaint about mentoring is silence
- Keep what they tell you private
- Tell us if it is not working, and we will find a better match
What you get out of it
A public profile with figures counted from what you have actually done — sessions run, people reached, hours given. Nothing is invented and nothing is rounded up. It is a record you can point at.
