Minds to Minds Mentoring

ATDChi's Minds2Minds Mentoring Program is now in its third season and applications for the next cohort are currently open!

Mentoring is a unique and collaborative learning partnership based on mutual trust and respect. The mentor-mentee relationship offers space for meaningful exchange of perspectives, while building competencies and capacities to thrive personally and professionally. 

We have some exciting networking opportunities planned to energize our professional spirits and inspire ourselves in the coming months.  Whether you are a mentee or a mentor, we invite you to join our M2M community of collaborative partners to learn and grow.  Together, we will instill an ethos of collective knowledge sharing, collegiality, and social connection. 

Here’s how to join the journey: 

Mentees, the process begins with your application! Take about 15 minutes to tell us about yourself – we'll use your information to match you with other members of the ATDChi community and reach out with more information on how to get started. 

Mentors, indicate your interest by filling out our three-minute form.   Tell us about yourself and we'll use your information to match you with other members of the ATDChi community and reach out with more information on how to get started.

PARTICIPANT MATCHING:

Our Minds2Minds team will ‘make a match’ for you and your growth collaborators based on an evaluation of shared interests and learning/development needs across the cohort.

Once you are paired, our team will make an introduction and equip you with helpful resources. 

Following that, we encourage both mentors and mentees to jump start the conversation, share expectations, establish meeting modality and frequency, and frame learning goals and action steps.

TIME COMMITMENT:

This is a cohort-based program, which kicks off in May of 2024 for a duration of 6 months.  Whether you choose to meet virtually or in-person, bi-weekly or monthly, the time invested into a meaningful developmental partnership depends greatly on your learning aspirations.  Notwithstanding the structure decide on, our team asks that you remain genuinely curious, accessible, committed, and engaged for the duration of the program.
