LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATE CHALLENGE Mentor Packet

Dear Mentor,

We are very pleased that you have connected with your mentee. By design the Leadership

Certificate Challenge asks students to build their own networks and reach out to find that special

mentor like yourself. It is one of the many tasks/challenges they are encouraged to take on.

The Leadership Challenge as a whole is designed to give students the opportunity to grow

personally and as leaders so they may become more productive as teammates, classmates, co-

workers and citizens.

You are an essential part of the Leadership Challenge and your students’ development. We also

understand that your time is precious, and so we have provided some additional context about the

Leadership Challenge in the attached documents and a simple summary of your responsibilities as a

mentor below.

Your responsibilities:

Over the course of your mentee’s undergraduate career, be available and engaged in 10

one-on-one sessions (15-20 min. each).

At Each one-on-one session we ask students come prepared with an “Event Credit

Forms,” showing that they have sought out and reflected upon an

event/workshop/conference or any event that will contribute to their personal or

professional development. We ask you sign each form to signal a completed session.

Familiarize yourself with the 7 C’s” of the Leadership Model for Social Change from

which the program model is grounded in.

Familiarize yourself with the challenges/requirements your mentee is tasked with

If interested: familiarize with your students program requirements (note however, that it

is the mentee’s responsibility to complete these)

By signing below, you are agreeing to the Mentor Responsibilities listed above.

Leadership Mentor & Mentee

Meetings

To help you and your mentor get the most out of your mentor sessions you will need to come

prepared for every meeting. As a student starting these conversations you might feel nervous,

but don’t worry. Remember your mentor wants to help you!

To prepare for this meeting LEAD/CEL suggests three easy steps if you are stuck or a bit

nervous:

#1. Tell Your Story

• Share the deeper story of why you are here and why you are doing LEAD/CEL.

#2. Share Your Observations:

• Be prepared with your Event Credit and Mentor Form filled out and ready to

share.

#3. Ask for Advice:

• Ask where they have encountered the day’s topic in their professional lives.

• Ask how you might incorporate a lesson or goal you have.
