Mentor Learning Series: How to Build an Ecosystem Where Mentorship Thrives

Mentorship is often seen as a one-way street: a more experienced person guiding someone with less experience. But what if mentorship could flow in all directions, creating deeper connections, resilience, and growth throughout an organization or community?

In this engaging session, facilitator Sam Gorman will introduce the Four Pathways of Mentorship—a powerful framework that encourages mentorship as a dynamic ecosystem:

  • Inner Pathway: Self-mentorship and personal reflection
  • Outer Pathway: Peer support and collaboration
  • Upper Pathway: Receiving guidance from mentors
  • Lower Pathway: Mentoring others and uplifting future leaders

Participants will explore how to activate each of these pathways in their own work, leaving with strategies and tools to build a thriving mentorship culture.

Who Should Attend?
This workshop is ideal for educators, youth-serving professionals, nonprofit leaders, community organizers, and anyone invested in building intentional mentorship structures.
