Mentoring
The Mentoring Program was successfully piloted at the 2015 Facing Pages convening. Each year, six literary organizations are paired with mentors to share resources, discuss challenges, and realize solutions within the course of year.
Mentoring engagements provide organizations with 20 hours of customized mentoring to support and sustain their gains long-term and create and strengthen a culture of continuity and leadership in the field in an intentional way. The Mentoring Program provides capacity building assistance to mentee organizations through individual mentoring of staff leadership, with board participation encouraged. Mentors are highly knowledgeable literary and nonprofit leaders who run major organizations and/or have substantial consultant credentials.
