Together for Ukraine - Mentorship Program

The Educational Equality Institute (TEEI) is proud to facilitate a comprehensive mentorship program designed to support Ukrainians in their personal and professional growth. This ongoing initiative connects mentees with experienced mentors who provide tailored guidance, helping participants overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

Our mentorship program offers two distinct pathways to address the needs of our participants:

• Student Mentorship: Mentors guide students on their educational journey, providing motivation, answering questions, and helping them develop skills while building valuable professional networks.
• Professional Mentorship: Professional mentors offer career-oriented guidance, including feedback on resumes and cover letters, answering industry-specific questions, and leveraging their networks to help mentees explore employment opportunities.

At the heart of this program is our innovative mentorship platform, which enhances the mentor-mentee experience. By utilizing advanced algorithms and a user-friendly interface, the platform simplifies communication, streamlines scheduling, and fosters meaningful relationships. This technology-driven approach ensures that participants can focus on growth and connection without being hindered by logistical challenges.

Key Features:

Our platform further enhances these mentorship experiences by offering both Flexible, On-Demand Mentoring and Structured Mentoring.

Flexible, On-Demand Mentoring provides guidance and advice on an as-needed basis. Mentors create a profile, and indicate when they’re available. They have control over their schedule, with the ability to adjust availability, reschedule meetings, or decline requests from mentees.?

Structured Mentoring is for those seeking a more structured and consistent mentorship experience. Our platform matches mentors and mentees based on shared professional interests. This feature encourages longer-term mentor-mentee relationships with a defined duration (e.g. six months) and recommends regular meetings to discuss goals, track progress, and strategize on development.

This dual approach to mentoring also allows flexibility for mentees to book either one-time advice sessions or establish long-term relationships with specific mentors.

Advanced Platform Features

Dynamic Scheduling and Availability

Mentors can manage their availability through a backend calendar, making it easy to coordinate sessions that fit their schedule. This feature ensures mentors can efficiently balance their mentoring commitments.

Comprehensive Mentor Profiles

Create detailed profiles showcasing your skills, experience, and areas of expertise. These profiles help mentees choose the mentor who best matches their developmental needs.

Detailed Reporting Capabilities

Our platform offers comprehensive reporting tools, including automated reports detailing mentor engagement metrics, such as the total hours committed by each mentor. This feature is particularly valuable for corporate volunteers, enabling organizations to track and report the contributions of their employees accurately.

Corporate Volunteering Opportunities

At TEEI, we recognize the importance of corporate support and engagement in creating a more inclusive and caring environment for refugees. Through our Corporate Volunteering Opportunities, your company and employees can help make a difference in the lives of Ukrainians displaced from their homeland.

Expert Video Library

Mentors have the opportunity to create short, 2-minute expert videos showcasing their skills and expertise. These videos will be featured in our mentorship platform’s video library and shared on our LinkedIn mentorship page, providing valuable insights and inspiration to mentees

Credly Badges for LinkedIn

Mentors who reach certain hours of engagement will be eligible to receive Credly badges. These digital badges can be added to your LinkedIn profile, showcasing your commitment and contributions to the mentorship program and enhancing your professional credibility.
