Purposeful Mentorship Programs
Define your purpose and set your goals. Invite your people and collect their preferences. Then, use PeopleGrove’s bulk matching tool to optimize pairings, kick off the relationships, and let the system guide the rest. It’s mentorship, made easy.
Have a Hand in What Happens Between Mentors and Mentees
When you want many experienced volunteers to guide a large number of mentees down a predetermined path, one by one, you need a Program to help you manage it all. PeopleGrove Mentorship Programs are perfect for times when you have an intention in mind.
Goal Reminders:
Set them so they don't forget them
The only thing harder than matching mentorship pairings manually (without Programs) is tracking goal progress manually. With Programs, you set reminders to send out automatically for each goal, on either fixed or relative-date points in time.
Not All Mentor Matching Criteria Are Created Equal
Who determines the amount of weight given to each matching criterion considered during the bulk matching process? Answer: you. From 0 to 100, you set the scales. You can even build custom matching rules to meet your program needs.
But Who Do They Want to Be Mentored By?
Want to allow your mentees to have a voice in who they get paired with? We can handle that. Before match-day, Programs allow mentees to favorite two or three mentors they’d prefer to work with. Problem solved.
Gather the Crucial Information
Mentees want mentors who understand them. Mentors want to help those who are genuinely interested in their expertise. Upon program registration, capture the information you need to make awesome matches.
Optimize the Bulk Match
Ever tried to manually match 1,000’s of mentorship pairings using spreadsheets? If you haven’t please don’t try. We fear for your sanity. Rather, let our custom-tailored algorithm recommend optimal pairings.
Set Goals for Instant Reporting
Configure the 3-to-7 or so goals you want your volunteers to help your mentees complete, set reminder dates, and then watch the completed tasks flow in. Goodbye, painstaking follow-up!
