Mentoring WEL (Wayne’s Emerging Leaders)
A Program to Strengthen the Future of Wayne County
2023 - 2024
The Wayne County Coordinating Council, in cooperation with the Wayne County Partnership, is embarking on an effort to identify some of Wayne County’s future leaders and enlist them for a pilot program of education and mentoring.
The components of the Mentoring WEL program are:
-
Each participant will go through an orientation session (1 hour) and a three-session (2 hours each) monthly educational program. The sessions will include presentations and an opportunity for discussion and interaction with fellow attendees. Specific sessions will include:
a. Wayne County Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
b. Economy and Economic Development
c. Community and Human Services, Non-Profits and Healthcare
-
While in the program, each participant will identify a mentoring area of interest and work with program volunteers toward a mentoring placement.
-
Upon completion of the educational program, attendees will be placed for a six-month mentoring opportunity in Wayne County.
-
At the end of the mentoring period, the attendees will reconvene with the program coordinator to evaluate the program and make recommendations for future such programs.
