Mentor Role Details

A mentor/mentee relationship is a rewarding partnership where knowledge flows freely and meaningful connections develop. Mentors serve as advisers, dedicated educators, inspiring role models, and experienced leaders who give back to others within Apra-NW by sharing their knowledge and skills. Through attentive listening, thoughtful guidance, practical advice, engaging teaching, and consistent professional support, mentors build strong and meaningful mentor/mentee relationships. 

Time commitment

The time commitment is very flexible and should be mutually agreed upon with your mentee. We recommend a minimum of one hour of connection (either in person, by phone, or virtual meeting) per month and an email check in between meetings. We recommend an initial commitment of 6-9 months. 

Duties/Responsibilities

• Meet with the mentee on regular basis to establish a strong relationship and to support the mentee's development goals
• Assist mentee in solving work-related challenges
• Provide support and guidance, as well as positive and constructive feedback to the mentee
• Be transparent and willing to share your experiences, information, and social capital with your mentee as needed
• Maintain confidentiality of information with the mentee
