The Mentor Coach Course has provided you with the essential vision and plan for developing mentors. However, when confronted with real-life challenges in real time, executing your plan can feel discouraging and lonely. That is the last thing we want for Mentor Coaches. This is where the Cohort comes in. 

In a Cohort, you will be paired with a LOLM staff member who will walk alongside you as you develop mentors. Additionally, you’ll be connected with fellow Mentor Coaches who are on a similar journey as you. Together, we’ll learn from one another and offer mutual support and encouragement during difficult times. 

The Cohort structure spans one year, with two meetings per month. One monthly meeting with your LOLM staff member who will help you process and navigate the challenges you’re currently facing. The second meeting will be as a Cohort together to learn, encourage, and support one another as a group of Mentor Coaches. The combination of the individualized support from LOLM staff and the collective support of the Cohort will be what you need to thrive in your role as a Mentor Coach.
