CMF’s Mentoring Program is now accepting applications for the 2019-2020 cohort of mentors and mentees.
The CMF Mentoring Program is an opportunity for those who have recently entered the field to grow in their work in partnership with an established professional, though mentors often say they find the experience equally rewarding.
“As both a mentee and a mentor in the CMF Mentoring Program, I have found true value in my experiences,” Katelyn Videto, philanthropic services manager, Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation said. “Not only did I learn from my colleagues in the field, but the program created a space for me to think about my own professional development and leadership skills. The program combines many opportunities -- mentorship, 360 feedback, coaching, workshops -- that aren't typically available to early-career professionals and allows them to use those opportunities to accelerate their own growth.”
The program provides:
-
Monthly engagements including mixers, meetings and more that are designed to foster learning and broaden your professional network.
-
Webinars and customized sessions with an executive coach to develop your leadership style and learn from those with deep expertise in philanthropy.
-
Consultants and trainers who lead professional and personal development learning on topics ranging from emotional intelligence and balancing home-work life to developing a personal brand and identifying leadership skills.
“Being a mentee in the CMF program far exceeded my expectations,” Chelsea Landry, program partner, Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation said. “The one-on-one time with my mentor was absolutely invaluable. My confidence as a professional has increased greatly as a result of my interactions with my mentor.”
There is no cost for CMF members to participate in the mentoring program. Nonprofit professionals, in addition to philanthropic professionals who are eligible for CMF membership, can participate for a fee.
The deadline for applications is August 2; space is limited.
