What is it?
Mentor Orientation will take place on a Saturday morning in November. The mentors learn about the expectations of the program and tips for a successful mentoring experience. Orientation will end with the formation of Mentor Groups which link up new mentors with experienced mentors, and thus provide a peer support system.

Choosing your mentees
Prior to orientation, mentors are asked to pick their top
choices for middle schools in the Wake or Durham
Counties. Generally, mentors pick schools that are near
their home or work, or somewhere in between. Maps and
participating schools for this year will be located on
the activities and forms
page.
After looking at all mentor requests and considering the numbers of mentees from each participating school, the WAM planning committee assigns each mentor to a particular school. At orientation the mentors
are assigned 2-3 girls from their assigned school |
