Register Today To Become a Metropolitan Mentor or Mentee

The Metropolitan Mentors program is designed to create long-term relationships between club members.

Mentors will be recruited to participate annually in October and November each year, with an invitation to mentees taking place in December and January.

The program will officially kick off with an introductory event in February.

Mentors and mentees should meet monthly at the club from March-September – for a total of seven interactions. In October, the club will bring together all the mentors and mentees for a closing event to celebrate the connections made and the progress created.

Benefits of participation:

Skill Development – Mentees can gain new skills, knowledge, and insights from their mentors, helping them grow in their chosen field or area of interest.

Networking – Mentoring provides an opportunity for mentees to expand their professional network through their mentor’s connections.

Career Advancement – Mentoring can assist mentees in setting and achieving career goals, whether it’s climbing the corporate ladder, starting a business, or pursuing a specific career path.

Personal Growth – Mentors can offer guidance on personal development, work-life balance, and interpersonal skills.

Knowledge Transfer – Mentoring helps pass down valuable institutional knowledge and expertise from experienced individuals to the next generation.

Boosting Confidence – Mentees often gain confidence and a sense of direction from having a supportive mentor.
