Are you a mentor, or looking for an opportunity to become one? Join us at Cambia Health as we dive into the PDXWIT Mentorship Program. You’ll hear from some of our current mentors about their experiences as part of the program, and our volunteer Mentor Team will explain what you can expect as you work with a mentee.
As someone’s mentor you will:
Benefit from watching another person grow and develop
Develop your leadership skills
Gain new understanding and perspective
Feel good about providing career support who otherwise may not have it
If you’re questioning whether you have enough experience to be a mentor, this is the event for you. We hope to see you there!
