SLN is inviting applications from early career individuals in our Network for our new Mentorship Program which will be introduced in early 2025. The goal of the program is to facilitate knowledge exchange, and provide guidance and support to early career individuals in our Network. This Mentorship Program will pair early career individuals (mentees) with more experienced professionals (mentors), in tandem.
We envision that both mentors and mentees benefit from the program. Mentors help mentees in different ways such as offering insights, sharing experiences, providing feedback, and offering networking opportunities. In return, mentors gain leadership experience, personal growth, and a chance to influence the next generation of leaders in snow leopard conservation.
How the program works:
After the mentees have been selected, our team at SLN will pair them with mentors within our network. There will be an initial online kick-off event where all the mentors and mentees are introduced to each other and the goals of the program discussed. After the event, the respective tandems of mentees/mentors set up further one-on-one meetings. They can meet as frequently as they desire, but we recommend a minimum of at least twice in three months. In addition, a check-in meeting after 6 months and a final meeting after one year, will be organized with all the mentors and mentees.
Who is eligible?
Members of SLN who consider themselves early career are welcome to apply.
