Group Formats

Mentee groups may occur in a 2-3 hour workshop, a day conference from 9 am to 3pm, or over a few weeks.

Mentors, core group members and host organizations create a potential yearly cycle of potential groups and programs, as well as provide flexibility for specific requests for group.

Why do this?

  • Planning our year to provide wholesome and innovative workshops and programs for mentees and mentors
  • Remaining responsive to the community’s needs and requests to build supports for mentees in their community and school.
