One - on- One Mentorship
In addition the monthly group sessions, program participants will be paired with an experienced black senior level nonprofit executive who will act as a mentor over the course of the eight (8) month program. Mentors will have a minimum of three years of executive level leadership in the nonprofit sector.

Develop mutual trust
Respect and value each other as a individuals
Maintain confidentiality
Listen and pursue authentic conversations (what is said and how it is said)
Help the mentee solve her/his own problem, not give direction
Focus on the mentee’s development and not seek to produce a duplicate of mentor
