PRI's Mentoring Group Monthly Meeting Investigated Readiness for Change

 

The Traverse Bay Poverty Reduction Initiative (PRI) Mentoring Group typically meets on the third Friday of each month. In an effort to help all organizations with mentors, each meeting now includes an educational element.

 

Committee member, Steve Wade says, "Over the last six years we have learned that people involved in mentoring programs benefit from regular contact with their peers. This education series is designed to provide timely information on issues affecting mentoring and a time and place for colleagues to connect with one another. People who have attended these sessions say they gain a lot from both the presentation and the casual conversations with others involved in mentoring."

 

Mentoring Group meetings are posted on the PRI Calendar of Events.
