Mentor profiles

Mentors as well as mentees can grow from being involved in mentoring. Mentees provide mentors with opportunities for self-reflection and the opportunity to consider things from a new and refreshing perspective. Research has shown that both the mentor and the mentee stretch themselves and experience positive change in mentoring relationships.

Our mentors/facilitators are all trained in facilitating mentoring circles.
