Collaboration NI announces details of mentoring programme

Collaboration NI is embarking on a Mentoring Programme to enable individuals within the community and voluntary sector to benefit from the experience and knowledge of their peers, either from within the third sector or from the public and private sectors

The Mentoring programme will be delivered by CO3 Chief Officers 3rd Sector, and will enable chief executives to share best practice in mergers, collaborations and partnership working, thereby strengthening the economic and emotional prosperity of Northern Ireland Civic Society.

CollaborationNI is looking for mentees who are facing a "new to them" situation or a specific issue around mergers or collaboration or partnership working and would like to work this through with the help from a mentor.

CollaborationNI is also looking for volunteers who are leaders in the sector to mentor leaders of voluntary/community organisations in Northern Ireland.

The Mentoring Programme will begin in October 2011 and those interested in finding out more are invited to a Mentoring Information Session. Further details are available here and here.
