Context
The mentoring agreement serves as a vital tool for establishing accountability between mentors and mentees within a mentoring relationship. By virtually "signing" the mentoring agreement, both parties commit to the defined expectations and guidelines that will shape their mentoring journey. The mentoring agreement outlines essential aspects such as the duration of the mentoring relationship, frequency of virtual meetings, and duration of mentoring calls.
The virtual mentoring platform includes a pre-existing mentoring agreement; nonetheless, program administrators possess the flexibility to customize it according to their program's specific requirements. This article will guide program administrators on how to adapt the mentoring agreement to align with their program's unique needs. Understanding the role of the mentoring agreement and its customizable nature empowers administrators to create a tailored and effective framework for mentor-mentee interactions. Let's explore the process of leveraging and adapting the mentoring agreement within the virtual mentoring platform to optimize program outcomes.
