Mentoring resources

It's been a little while since I shared any mentoring resources, and since the deadline for applications for new mentors is fast approaching (there's still time to apply!), here are some resources for new mentors:

Guide for Mentoring: Do you want to be a mentor?
This includes what details in the role of a mentor, what it takes to be a good mentor, tips for a successful relationship, how to help your mentee learn and finally, what to do after goals have been achieved.

Guide for Mentoring: Appendix

Although this is a separate document from the one above, it is more or less a continuation. It includes questions and answers, common myths, useful websites and resources, a mentoring agreement and a feedback questionnaire. Although to some extent Databank Foundation will set the terms of your mentoring agreement and will provide mentees with a feedback questionnaire at the end of the programme, you are free to experiment with others.

If you'd like to apply for the next Young Leaders Mentorship Programme, click here for eligibility requirements and application details. If you know someone you think might like to apply, simply point them in our direction. The deadline's this Friday though, so you'll have to hurry!
