MWM State of the States 2018-2019 Released at Annual Summit
At our annual Summit on
October 26th
, we released this year's State of the States report. The report provides an overview of the movement and features a page on each state involved. The state pages detail events and initiatives within that state over the past year, commitments and pledges to mentor, and plans for the coming year, and provides information on that state's leadership structure and partner organizations. It's a chance to celebrate progress, share best-practices and scalable models of success, and dive deeper into the daily workings of this vast volunteer movement.

This year we held our States Contest to provide our States with the opportunity to submit their best-practices and programs from the year. We received entries from states in the form of videos, essays, prezi and powerpoint presentations. While all of the states shared incredible work that we will continue to share across our network,
Minnesota

WEBSITE UPDATES
Coming Soon
|
|
|
Whether you are starting a corporate community mentoring program from scratch, looking to expand or augment an existing program, or just thinking about new ways to engage employees in volunteering, knowing what kind of resources are available to support that work and how to evaluate them can be advantageous. The Million Women Mentors Mentoring Resources Index will provide members with the information they need to find and secure the right partners, research, training, and other resources to meet their programmatic goals. In the Activation Guide you will find help to get your program started, the evaluation rubric by which we measure resources and partners, and a database of organizations and resources that have been Million Women Mentors Certified. To be included in the Million Women Mentoring Mentoring Resources Index, a resource or organization has to meet our baseline criteria including: ability to provide testimonials to the resources's effectiveness, impact metrics proving success meeting the mission, and ongoing sustainability.
