Committee Description
The FAS Mentorship Committee supports the continued development and growth of the FAS Mentoring Program. The committee works to create meaningful connections between mentors and mentees, strengthen the participant experience, and identify opportunities to expand participation within the FAS community.
The committee will provide guidance on program structure, assist with mentor and mentee recruitment, support participant matching and engagement, and gather feedback to help improve the program from year to year.
Member Responsibilities
- Participate in committee meetings and provide input on program planning and improvements.
- Help promote the program and encourage potential mentors and mentees to participate.
- Assist with reviewing mentor and mentee interests and making appropriate matches.
- Periodically check in on program participation and help identify opportunities to strengthen engagement.
- Review participant feedback and recommend improvements for future mentoring cycles.
- Help identify opportunities to expand the program and increase its value to FAS members.
Estimated Volunteer Commitment
Approximately 8–12 hours per year, including:
- 3–4 committee meetings per year: approximately 1 hour each
- Mentor/mentee matching and program launch: approximately 2–3 hours annually
- Recruitment, outreach, and program feedback: approximately 2–4 hours spread throughout the year
The workload may be slightly higher around the annual recruitment and matching period but should remain relatively light throughout the rest of the year.
