NEL Mentoring Program

Mentee Sign Up
If you are interested in receiving mentorship, you can fill out this form. Whether you are brand new or just want collegial connection, we invite you to sign up as a mentee.
Becoming A Mentor
Are you an experienced religious educator with at least three years of experience on the job? Do you have a passion for nurturing the spiritual growth of our fellow Religious Educators? If so, we invite you to consider becoming a volunteer mentor in our new mentorship program. This is a limited commitment opportunity, unlike paid mentorship roles that are long-term.
