The Mentorship Programme

Connecting mentors and mentees

The Programme

I have been blessed to have the privilege of experiencing the powerful inspiration as a mentee and as a mentor across various times and spaces over the decades. There is nothing quite like the dynamic two-way energy flow between the highly engaged mentor and mentee and the potential impact is nothing short of life-changing for both. We are excited to help spread the magic of access and connection by uniting enthusiastic mentees with passionate mentors to embark on an enlightening journey of personal and professional development, touching the quality of life for individuals and communities. The impact is REAL!

There is a rewarding opportunity for increased mentorship experiences here on Anguilla so we have crafted a program with the specific needs of youth and aspiring professionals, aged 18-35 years in mind. The program allows for a unique approach which values flexibility in that tailored mentorship and guidance are provided personalized to the circumstances and preferences of both the mentee and the mentor.

One of the most important hallmarks of this program is that the collaboration should unite mentee and mentor in a comfortable and inspiring space of enlightened sharing and growth. Organic, two-way positive flow in a format that aligns with the lifestyles and goals of both mentee and mentor is encouraged. This program is not defined by overly structured obligation, but rather designed for personalization and flexibility, tailored to fit the unique connection.
