Specialty Path: Toastmasters Mentoring Program

Mentorship is an integral part of Toastmasters, with benefits that reach far beyond the club meeting. The Pathways Mentor Program is designed to help you build and reinforce the skills needed to provide a positive mentoring experience for protégés. The program is comprised of three projects that must be completed sequentially. The projects cover a range of topics from understanding your role as a mentor through a comprehensive assignment that includes a mentoring commitment lasting six months.
