HAPPEN’s Mentorship Committee is looking for 3-4 more committee members to help plan the activities for the 2024-2025 HAPPEN Mentorship Program!
About the Mentorship Program: The Mentorship Program consists of people within the ANHPI community looking to advance their professional opportunities and network. Mentors are paired with a mentee, encouraged to meet once a month one-on-one and attend monthly cohort meeting, where all mentor/mentee pairs come together to build professional skills and connections.
About the Mentorship Committee: The Mentorship Committee comes together every month to plan for the cohort meetings, create resources for the mentorship program, and facilitate the cohort meetings.
Time Commitment: August 2024 to May 2025; 5 hours a month consisting of around 1.5-2 hours of planning meetings, 1-1.5 hour of individual work (creating presentations, handouts, etc.), and 1.5 hours of helping facilitate cohort meetings.
Who can be on the mentorship committee? Anyone in state government who has a passion for mentorship, professional development and/or networking! Whether or not you have participated in a mentorship program before or have experience as a mentor or mentee, all are welcome to apply!
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to your application!
For mentors and mentees, the application for the 2024-2025 HAPPEN Mentorship Program is anticipated to open in June! We will announce more details as they become available.
Have Something to Share?
We try our best to curate meaningful and relevant content, opportunities, news, etc., we think will be of interest for our members and allies. Representing over 100 countries and more than 50 communities makes it difficult to stay apprised of everything HAPPENing related to our collective community. We greatly appreciate when opportunities are shared from our members.
This is your bulletin. Feel free to send articles, resources, event information, etc., to be included in future bulletins, and eventually, our website and social media.
Process:
- Submit items by emailing them to HAPPEN@ofm.wa.gov by Thursday morning for the following week's bulletin.
- Time sensitive items submitted will be reviewed and included in the next bulletin.
- Non-time sensitive submissions will be added to the list to be included in future bulletins when we may be looking for content to share.
- Bulletins will usually be distributed on Mondays. Special bulletins will be sent only as needed to provide an update on something already shared or of an urgent nature.
Thank you in advance for sharing, uplifting, and elevating our voices, culture, and opportunities! This is what community looks like.
