MENTOR Program

Various individuals in their communities conducting League work with a description of MLD: Membership, Leadership & Development Program

The MENTOR Program

MENTOR stands for Mentoring for Engagement, Nurturing, Training, Opportunity and Resilience, and was previously named the MLD (Membershp, Leadership and Development) Program. MENTOR is a LWVUS initiated mentoring program designed to provide support and guidance to local Leagues on issues of membership growth, outreach, visibility, and leadership development as well as help on other aspects of the League’s work that may arise.

Any local League is welcome to join the program and become a Mentee. If you're interested, please fill out this questionnaire and the MENTOR Program Manager will follow-up with next steps.

Share Your Skills and Experience, Become a MENTOR!

Any League member who feels they have a skill to share and/or who is experienced in League is encouraged to complete this questionnaire. After submission, the MENTOR Program Manager (currently the LWVWI Membership & Events Manager) will reach out to talk with you and invite you to participate in the next MENTOR monthly meeting.

You don't have to be a lifetime Leaguer to be an effective MENTOR. This is a space for League members to nurture other League members with the goal of supporting one another as peers. If you have a skillset you're willing to share, there are Leaguers out there who would benefit from your guidance and expertise.
