Developing a Quality Community-Based Mentoring Program

Quality mentoring is mentoring that produces significant, lasting, positive outcomes for mentees; it is responsible, ethical, effective mentoring.
Mentoring programs come in all shapes and sizes, but there are some key components that help to ensure quality and that the needs of the mentee, volunteer mentor, organization and community are fulfilled.
In order to create a quality mentoring program, the Alberta Mentoring Partnership has a toolkit, which identifies the key steps to support the development and implementation for a community-based mentoring program.
