Yes, participation in the mentorship program is completely free for both mentors and mentees.
Mentors typically commit 2-3 hours per month for 6 to 12 months. They are there to offer guidance and share their experience but not to get involved in day-to-day operations or hands-on project work.
As a mentee, you’re expected to come prepared with specific challenges or questions you’d like to discuss. You should be proactive, take responsibility for scheduling, and make the most of each session.
The courses are self-paced, so you can engage with the content at your own speed. If you want to make consistent progress, we recommend setting aside at least one hour per week.

Not necessarily, mentors may come from both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors, but all have strong HR expertise. We make sure they are briefed and sensitized to the unique challenges of the nonprofit world.
Yes, we encourage it, feel free to share your involvement, but please don’t disclose any confidential or sensitive details from your mentorship experience.

We match participants based on their experience, areas of interest, and specific challenges or goals. We also take availability and language preferences into account to ensure a productive partnership.
