For new and veteran Jewish educators
Mentoring is a proven, effective way to invest in new educators. Jewish LearningWorks’ Mentorship Program is informed by Jewish concepts and texts, as well as leadership and adult learning research, to support both our mentors and mentees.
Each year we recruit both new mentors and mentees. Once the matches have been made, we provide the structure and tools for meaningful engagement.
- Aimed at: Bay Area Jewish educators and communal professionals.
- Mentees: Ideal candidates are those taking on a new role, or those who are still new to their position, or have new responsibilities.
- Mentors: Ideal candidates have at least 10 years of experience in the field of Jewish education.
- Format: 1:1 mentorship sessions will be virtual, or in-person if both parties prefer. Group sessions will be virtual only (synchronous and asynchronous).
