We hope to see you at Confluence 2026 in Fort Collins this May, but we really hope to see you one day early. That’s because we’re offering a mentorship training session as a pre-conference workshop!
If you attended Confluence 2024, you know that Crowd Conservation has partnered with the Western Collaborative Conservation Network to develop a digital toolkit that’s all about mentorship. We wanted to assemble information and resources that could benefit mentors, mentees and organizations looking to host mentorship programs for their members, all with a focus on conservation.
This project consists of three key elements:
- Research on mentorship through the lens of mentors, mentees and organizations to understand best practices, mentorship challenges, case studies and gaps in knowledge, resources or capacity that could be solved with a mentorship toolkit resource.
- Development of a digital toolkit that included background information, helpful printable tools, a bibliography of resource materials and more.
- A companion mentorship training that would give participants the opportunity to learn about our research findings, engage with the toolkit and, hopefully, embark on a mentorship journey of their own, either as individuals or within their organization.
The research publication based on all of the interviews and insights collected through this process is currently in development. The mentorship toolkit and the mentorship training will be officially introduced during Confluence 2026 – that means, if you’re going to Confluence, you’ll get the first look at the fruits of our collective efforts.
The training is a two-hour, interactive session where we’ll learn, share and have some FUN! As you register for Confluence, plan to join us for the mentorship training session – it’s a great way to begin your time in Fort Collins.
