Experiential Learning & Capacity Building

A collaborative, flexible, hands-on evaluation learning opportunity offered in collaboration with the Alberta Mentoring Partnership. Over 6 months, mentoring organizations participate in synchronous group learning sessions, as well as individual and group coaching sessions to plan and conduct meaningful and useful evaluations of their programs. The structure, content, and time commitment of the course is flexible based on organizational needs, but previous offerings have involved approximately 27 hours of group training. Networking and co-learning between organizations is also emphasized to provide valuable and contextual knowledge and resources specific to the mentoring sector. Learners receive a certificate of completion. Our current offering concluded in May 2023! Please check back for future offerings.
