background and experience. Once submitted, you will be added to FPALA’s list of available mentors for the year.
The Membership Committee will match mentors with mentees. While special pairing requests will be considered, specific matches cannot be guaranteed. Depending on participation levels, mentors may be assigned more than one mentee, or may not be assigned a mentee and instead be asked to support the program in other ways.
How It Works:
It is an annual program.
There is no cost to participate, however membership is required for both mentor and mentees.
Mentees are limited to one mentor at a time.
Mentees are expected to set the agenda and drive the relationship. Mentors just need to be responsive to their requests.
Once the match has been set, Mentees and Mentors are encouraged to have a discovery call to set agenda and overall expectations. This is to help mentees get clarity on what they want/need out of their mentoring relationship.
Mentees and mentors generally meet one - two times per month via phone or Zoom, although some relationships are in-person.
Mentees complete an exit interview to help us gather feedback and improve the mentoring experience and the program overall.
