Volunteer Agreements
Before we proceed with finalizing your mentor application, we would like to confirm your understanding of the crucial commitment of showing up for each meeting with your mentee. As a mentor, your consistent presence plays a significant role in building trust, fostering growth, and providing support to your mentee. By regularly attending meetings, you demonstrate reliability, dedication, and a genuine investment in their development. This consistent presence helps establish a strong mentor-mentee relationship, which is vital for achieving positive outcomes.

If selected, we expect that you will prioritize attending all scheduled meetings, unless extenuating circumstances arise. These regular interactions serve as valuable opportunities for guidance, encouragement, and sharing experiences, ultimately shaping the mentees' personal and professional growth. Kindly respond to this statement by indicating your understanding of the importance of showing up for each meeting with your mentee.
