AL!VE is also hosts a mentor program for local associations to assist them to grow into local strong sources of professional development, networking, and leadership development. If you would like to mentor a local association, we’d love to have you be a part of the mentorship team! You’ll work with AL!VE board members to set up short consultation, coaching, or educational sessions on topics that you have expertise in and local associations need. This is a time commitment of a few hours a month on a regular basis, or less frequent depending on your schedule.
The program entails different levels of mentorship for your group. Each mentorship program last six months.
If you’re interested in mentoring a local association, please fill out our interest form and we will be in touch with you soon.
If your local association would like to be considered for a mentorship, we'd like to hear more about your group.
Local Associations of Volunteer Engagement Professionals – we are here to support you! We feel your struggles and are in the process of creating a how-to handbook specifically to help you – either as a new association or a long running one, you have issues you need resolved and we may have the answers. We’ll be sure to let you know when the handbook is complete, but for now we have a favor to ask - would you help us in creating/finalizing the handbook? We are looking for some sample documents (items listed below), so if you have any of these you can share, please send them to The Local Associations Committee.
For any questions about either mentorship program, email us at info@volunteeralive.org.
