Announcing: SGSO Network Mentorship Program
Daniel Barrera Ortega
Hi everyone,
The SGSO Network is thrilled to be launching our SGSO Network Mentorship Program! This program will pair experienced school garden leaders with emerging professionals for a year of personalized coaching.
How Does the Program Work?
Mentors will be paired with 2 mentees to create a huddle. Every quarter, huddles will be required to schedule and attend 3 types of calls:
Cohort Calls: whole cohort calls dedicated to differentiated training for mentors and mentees. These calls are scheduled by the SGSO Network.
Huddle Calls: Calls between mentors and both of their mentees with the goal of peer learning while working through challenges as a group.
Individual Mentee Calls: 1-on-1 calls between mentors and their mentees. These calls focus on mentee’s personal interests and areas of growth as identified with their mentors.’
Becoming A Mentor - Applications Open due July 31st!
Mentors are experienced school garden professionals that are excited to coach emerging professionals. They must have:
10+ years working directly in the school garden movement.
7+ years of experience in the role they’d be interested in mentoring (not necessarily your current role).
Currently work in the school garden movement.
Passion for mentoring and coaching others.
Mentors receive a $1,000 stipend and continued training. Applications are now open and due July 31st.
Becoming a Mentee - Applications Open On August 3rd
Mentees are emerging professionals excited to grow their skills. You are considered an emerging professional if you meet at least one of the following:
Under 30 years old.
Less than 3 years of experience working in school gardens.
Less than 3 years in their current school-garden related role.
Mentees should also currently work in a school garden related role and plan on continuing to work within the movement. Mentees also pay into the program through a sliding-scale fee.
