MMP

  Each mentor will be paired with 1 to 3 mentees, depending on their capacity and availability.

 Mentees will be selected through an open application process.

 Each mentor will submit a profile, headshot, area of expertise, and desired mentee qualities.

 Mentees will apply based on alignment, after which mentors will have the opportunity to select their mentees.

  Biweekly Assignments: Mentors will provide light but purposeful tasks, reflections, or learning activities to help mentees apply insights and stay accountable.

  Monthly Check-Ins: At least one virtual or in-person meeting each month to discuss progress, challenges, and next steps.

  Professional Exposure: Mentors are encouraged, where possible, to invite mentees to public or professional events for practical learning experiences.

  Mutual Respect and Boundaries: All meetings should take place in professional or mutually agreed public spaces to maintain appropriate boundaries and ensure comfort for both parties.

  Mentees are expected to complete assignments and provide biweekly updates on their progress.

  If a mentee consistently fails to engage or meet expectations, mentors should promptly notify the HWR team for follow-up and support.

  The HWR team will conduct periodic check-ins with both mentors and mentees to ensure a fulfilling experience for all.

  Mid-Year Review (6 Months): A structured assessment to measure progress, gather feedback, and identify areas for improvement.

  End-of-Year Assessment: A final evaluation to measure growth, outcomes, and program impact.

  These reviews will guide decisions on whether partnerships may continue into a new cycle based on mutual interest and results.
