Mentorship Program |
Aim The primary aim of this program is to create a personalized professional support system for interested members who face the complex challenges that arise in the field of fundraising. Overview The Mentorship Program will meet the unique needs of individual participants based on their professional role, level of experience, and specific goals for the program. Each mentee will work with a mentor to enhance career growth and professional satisfaction through collegial conversations related to personal values, professional experiences and aims, and career coaching. Mentees and mentors who participate in this program agree to create a safe space that is free of judgement and discrimination against one's gender identity, race, color, age, sexual orientation, disability, and religious beliefs. All participants will be asked for anonymous feedback throughout their mentorship that is shared with the VP of Membership. Benefits
Testimonial Jonathan Meagher-Zayas (MAH-harr-ZAH-yuhz), MSW, MPA, CFRE Why did you choose to join the AFPGV Mentorship Program? I recently moved back to the Rochester area and started my new role. I was looking for some support in navigating a new organization and reconnecting back in the community. What example would you give of a strategy or practice you learned from your mentor or from a recent AFPGV educational event that you have recently applied in the workplace that has brought you success? My mentor Joel has been great! We connect about every other month in person, and even more frequent via email. My role changed recently at my job, and I ended up writing my own job description. Joel was helpful by providing feedback, brainstorming some solutions, and sharing some resources. I was grateful for his help.
