The Amadou Diallo Mentorship Program
The Foundation is committed to recruiting
a group of mentors who will work with the Amadou Diallo Foundation Scholars
and with the winners of the Amadou Diallo scholarships. The mentors will
provide technical support and will also assist the Scholars to disseminate
their work to the larger community of scholars, activists, advocates,
policy analysts, and researchers who work in the field of community development.
Mentors will be recruited from the ranks of university
professors, researchers, and professionals who are well established in
their respective fields and who are committed to aid in the professional
growth and development of students receiving support from the Foundation.
Mentors will develop "learning contracts" with the Scholars
who will outline the terms and conditions of the mentorship, its goals
and objectives, as well as the frequency with which mentors and Scholars
will meet.
As in the case with all mentorship programs, the Foundation
expects to conduct formal evaluation studies of those mentorships so that
they may become effective vehicles for mentors and scholars alike. |
