Mentoring Matters
Tips for Mentors

Are you visiting this site because you are wondering if you should become a mentor? Well, only you can make that decision. It is a very personal one, and should be considered carefully.

Our mentor training will help you. We don't ask for a commitment – on the contrary, our training is designed to teach you what mentoring is all about.  We want you to get to know yourself better.  No, not with a lot of psycho-babble, but by identifying your strengths, your values, your communication skills and looking at how people interact with each other based on diversity issues, all in a fun and friendly environment with like-minded students.  Nothing heavy, just thought provoking.
 
If you decide mentoring is for you – great!  If not, that is great also.  We teach to that.  Use the mentor training to help you make up your mind.  No pressure, no commitment, just a lot of fun learning.  Give it a try.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  No, really.  You will see.  Make the investment in yourself.
