PMI Fort Worth

The FWPMI Chapter Volunteer Mentor Program

Did you know that the FWPMI chapter has a Mentor program?  The program kicked off this past summer and ran through October. There were a total of 44 mentors and mentees that signed up and participated, which exceeded expectations!  This program pairs volunteer mentors with mentees to develop their careers and allow them to network in the industry.  Some of the most common topics that were discussed were around helping people enter the PM world or elevating their PM skills.  Some of the mentors even said they learned something new!

This program is ongoing as mentors and mentees sign up.  We encourage you to fill out the interest form by clicking here:  Mentor Program | PMI Fort Worth (fwpmi.org)  Just fill out your name, your contact information, and whether or not you want to be a Mentor (Coach) or a Mentee (Apprentice) and click ‘Submit’.  The form is very quick and easy to fill out and you can submit it from your phone   You will then be emailed an application that will collect your goals and objectives so you can be matched appropriately.  We ask mentees to provide the goals as specific as possible in order to find the correct Mentor.

Once a mentor and mentee are matched, they will meet and agree on preferred communication and learning methods.  The Mentee is the driver of this professional relationship and needs to take the initiative to set the meetings.  Upon being matched in the program, a mentoring plan document will be provided along with three learning objectives that the Mentee indicated they need from the program.  You and your mentor will be matched together for 3 months. Feel free to continue staying in contact unofficially after exiting the Mentoring Program.

This program is offered free as a service to chapter members.  Additionally, mentors can earn PDUs (typically 1 PDM for each hour served).  If you have additional questions, please contact mentorprogram@fwpmi.org. 

Take a minute and sign up today!  This is a great opportunity for personal growth, for volunteering, and to network and make friends.
