| What is Mentoring? Is it a Program?
|
| No, not really. Programs are single events that a Lodge might undertake. Mentoring should be going on in all Lodges, all the time. More experienced Masons should Mentor less experienced ones, Past Masters should Mentor newer officers.
|
| Is it a Process? More than a program, yes. Mentoring *should* be the rule, not the exception.
|
| When it comes right down to it, what the Masonic Education Committee has done, as a service to our Lodges, is assembled is an assortment of resources that might be used in the Mentoring process. These resources have been assembled into a book, called the Mentor’s Manual. We may call it a Program, but it really is more of a tool box.
|
| Your Lodge may not have a formal committee for it, may not call it by the same name, but the *activity* should be happening – whatever the details. If you are providing Mentoring for your new members, - wonderful! Hopefully, this Manual will be helpful, and this section will give you some new ideas.
|
| If your Lodge is NOT Mentoring, please consider starting, and we have a *sample* program that you can use as a basis for the more customized one your Lodge will eventually develop.
