Implementing a successful mentoring program

The Australian Womensport & Recreation Association (AWRA) has produced a free online resource for implementing a successful mentoring program.   This web module is extremely comprehensive, covering all aspects of mentoring and includes a number of useful templates.

The main topics are:
* an introduction to the concept of mentoring
* mentoring background information and
* the various types of mentoring programs, including the set-up, matching the mentee and the mentor, gender issues, monitoring and evaluation

 

The web module covers the roles of the mentee and the mentor, the types of mentoring programs, such as the formal to the informal, e-mentoring and small group programs, when and why to implement mentoring and the benefits and possible costs.

Further leadership and governance web modules are also available free through the AWRA website.

 Weekend Bowler

Weekend Bowler is aimed specifically at working women encouraging competition play on weekends when it is more suitable. This began in 2010 with the successful formation of the Ladies Team Challenge.

This event doubled in size in 2011, with the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Downs zones included. It is hoped that Burnett will be included in 2012.
