More than just a blog post, this is an opportunity to reflect on MiF's remarkable journey and look to the ambitious horizons we're setting for next year.
It has been less than six months since our inception, and wow! We're still pinching ourselves at how much MiF has grown.
Fifty amazing mentor-mentee pairs are kicking serious goals, our community has doubled to over 100 (you rock!), and even partners, sponsors, and cool organisations are joining the party.
So, raise a mug (coffee, cocoa, or celebration juice!) to our epic half-year. Together, we've built a thriving mentorship oasis, and the future's looking brighter than ever. Get ready to unwrap a season of unreal possibilities at MiF!
So, without further ado, let's dive into the details of what's coming in 2024!
Mentor it Forward Inc.
Our journey began as a seed of connection, and now, we proudly announce our official incorporation as Mentor it Forward Inc., a registered Not-For-Profit association.
Operating as an NFP fosters higher standards. We adhere to strict regulations for transparency and ethical conduct, ensuring the highest quality of service for our beneficiaries. This commitment to integrity strengthens community trust and positions us for long-term success.
MiF Board of Directors
Following our official incorporation as Mentor it Forward Inc., we're excited to announce the formation of our new board of directors. Composed of diverse and dedicated individuals, this board brings a wealth of wisdom and passion to guide MiF's trajectory. Their expertise will be instrumental in navigating uncharted territories of impact and shaping the future of mentorship. Mark your calendars for their official introduction in January!
Mentorship, Redefined!
Remember the exciting spirit of innovation that fueled our early days? That energy doesn't fade – it evolves. We've listened to your feedback and meticulously crafted a program infused with structure, clear standards, and streamlined guidelines.
This optimised journey of focused mentorship provides a framework for positive progression, setting expectations for all participants and offering clarity on the "why" and "how" of your mentorship experience. We'll work closely with each pair to ensure both mentors and mentees achieve their full potential.

We're expanding our ranks, welcoming passionate mentors and opening registration for eager mentees. Submit your Expressions of Interest before January ends, and secure your spot on the exciting February launch of the third wave, marking a new chapter for the program.
We're excited to announce the implementation of a refined onboarding process, streamlined induction protocols, and clearer rules of engagement. This enhanced framework, along with our updated methodology and resources, ensures a structured and supportive mentorship journey for all participants.
