Mentoring Matters: Effective Practices and Partnerships in Vermont May 19, 2010

Join members of the Vermont mentoring community on May 19th for an inspiring and informative day of workshops and collaboration. Dr. Susan Weinberger, a nationally recognized expert in school and community-based mentoring programs, will be the featured speaker. There will be many other local experts presenting workshops centered around these tracks: Mentoring Mentors; Networking for Sustainability; Standards and Program Evaluation; and Marketing and Media. The afternoon features an “open space forum,” a time to share and learn about the pressing topics that matter most to you. Mentoring programs are encouraged to bring materials to display and share.



Who should attend?

* Anyone currently involved in mentoring as a volunteer or employee and who is interested in growing and improving their program
* Businesspeople interested in engaging their employees in mentoring as community service
* Members of the education, philanthropy, and non-profit community who are considering starting, supporting or partnering with a mentoring program
