ODNNY Mentoring Program

We are pleased to offer mentoring to ODNNY members.

Through the mentoring program you can gain insight into the world of OD or guidance in addressing OD challenges by connecting with an experienced OD practitioner. The mentoring program provides three 45-60 minute sessions with a mentor.

How it works:

1. Select someone from the list of volunteer mentors below.

2. Write a request for a mentor, including the following information, and email it to Annie Merkle at amerkle@odnny.org:

a. Your profile: Student/New Graduate; Exploring OD; Transitioning to OD; OD Practitioner
b. What you hope to accomplish through the mentoring
c. The three mentors you would prefer to work with (selected from the list below)
d. Your contact information

3. Annie will contact the mentors and connect you with an available mentor.

4. With your mentor, you will determine how (phone, in person) and when you will connect for your sessions.
