Mentoring Circles

A facilitator meets with four, six, eight or ten people, each of whom is both mentor and mentoree. They meet regularly as a group to learn, discuss and experience mentoring. The difference between mentoring circles and group mentoring is that the group and facilitator discuss only the mentoring process. Mentoring conversations remain confidential. Each person in the circle mentors the person on their left and later is mentored by the person on their right, so the person they mentor does not mentor them.
