Engaging New Generations in Nature Conservation

“We’re really thankful for the partnership we have with Pollinate. Our mentees are thrilled with the mentoring program experience; they say it’s highly beneficial and means so much to them.”

“Pollinate’s mentor matching algorithm is pure magic. It’s been a great experience with excellent results.”

“This is a wonderful program, absolutely encourage its continuation and explore possibilities for growth.”

“It has been very helpful when we have spoken. We are rather similar in personality so it is nice to hear how she has navigated similar challenges throughout her career.”

“Excellent matching exercise, I encourage you to continue the program, many transferable learnings (both ways)…  my mentee also shared her expertise with me and that helped build our relationship and her sense of mastery/contribution and what I learned from my mentee, I have been able to use in my volunteer work.”

“It’s my first time in a formal mentorship program and even though it can be tricky to fit into life’s busy schedule, it’s amazing what can be organized across the country in a virtual capacity. One great lesson learned is there are opportunities for informal mentorships and understanding the value and benefits of a mentor, I plan to continue to seek out mentors elsewhere and find opportunities to mentor in future.”

“I am very thankful to have been a part of this initiative. I’ve learned so many things that have and will continue to significantly impact my career development.”

“You have done a great job matching my mentor, we are off to a great start. I noticed our difference regarding details vs big picture. It is a good thing. I get stuck in details and like working with big picture people.”
