Fun Idea Starters:

Mentoring Mingle: Invite your current mentors to bring a friend who may be interested in mentoring to a simple gathering with food and drinks. No program or agenda is necessary just chat them up and let other mentors and mentees in the room do the same. It is helpful to have mentors who you know are good at telling their mentoring story planted in the crowd to help drive the discussions

New Year, New You: The fact that National Mentoring Month takes during January has its advantages. It allows you to frame recruitment events as an opportunity for people to move forward with New Year’s Resolutions like “giving back more” or “deepening community connections.”
