Welcome to the Mentorship Working Group!

Goal[edit]

This group intends to form a mentor any interested Wikimedia groups (e.g., affiliates, chapters, user groups, independent programs) to develop programs related to Wikimedia and Education, irrespective of the model or the country. It also intends to form a network of collaborators (similar to a buddy system) who are willing to share learning experiences about successes and challenges around connecting Wikimedia with education. We’ve found value in helping each other improve and scale our programs, and we want new groups to have the support they need.

We ran a small mentorship pilot in 2021 with 17 people participating. Feedback indicated the pilot was successful.

Currently, in 2022, we are running a larger mentorship program with 36 participants.
