A new initiative to support new organisers by matching mentor-ship by experienced organisers.
For skilled people: allows you to scale and/or replicate your skills to increase your influence in climate action.
For new organisers: gain the confidence to deploy your own actions or set up your own local group, campaign, organisation by filling in the gaps in your skill set.
Please contact us if you can help with Phase 1
Planned Phases
- Recruit a sample group of mentors to help refine questionnaire and expectations
- Call out to people with skills willing to mentor and ask them to complete a form
- Manually sort them (me and any volunteers. 1 so far)
- Once we have a sizeable number we call out to networks to let people know they can apply for mentorship
- People requesting mentorship apply
- We manually match people. Then we forward the application to the mentor.
- The mentor replies and confidentially declines the request or replies that they will contact their mentee to start the relationship.
- After the prototype is working, we upgrade systems.
