WHAT IS MENTORSHIP AND CREW M’S MENTORSHIP PROGRAM?

Mentoring is a relationship between a mentor and a mentee, in which the mentor shares his or her wisdom, expertise and professional experiences to help the mentee develop additional professional skills and to achieve given goals. Mentoring is voluntary and unpaid, and requires honesty, trust and ethics on both sides. The CREW M mentoring program is a one-year program that is reserved exclusively for CREW M members. A fee of $50 is required from selected mentees. Program participants receive training before beginning their mentorship relationship.

Training

Free mandatory training is offered to both mentors and mentees. Our mentoring coach will help the cohort understand each other’s roles and define their goals.

Pairing

The program begins with a matchmaking event. At this event, you will have the opportunity to talk to the mentors in the cohort on a 1-to-1 basis to help you identify the mentor of your choice. The committee will finalize the matchmaking process.

How it works

Each dyad is to identify its own objectives and expectations, and to determine the frequency and location of meetings. Meetings are suggested to be one hour per month, evenly spread throughout the year.
