Responsibilities of a Mentor Mentors must be willing to accept the commitment of time and energy to provide support for the mentees. You will need to maintain support and open communication. You will also:  Initiate contact with the mentee within two weeks of the assignment.  Be a good listener  Maintain confidentiality  Give constructive feedback  Promote the mentees creativity and skill development  Meet at scheduled times (you and the mentee will decide this) at least once a month.  Work with the mentee to develop goals, access resources and build a professional network  Maintain a positive attitude  Update the Professional Activities Officer for how mentoring is progressing or not.  Remember there is most often more than one way to reach a goal. Support the mentee to the best of your ability, but remember the program success or failure of the mentee is their responsibility.
