Mentor Benefits“I feel like I
got to challenge
myself with my mentee and learned
from her and the other mentors.”
“I think this is a great program and I have learned a lot in my 2 years. I have benefited by the new connections I have made with
others across the agency; being a mentor was also a great learning experience for me.”
“I feel this experience
exposed me to a different
experience-developing
someone outside of my
area.”
Mentee Benefits
“I appreciate that the agency brought this program because it means the agency is willing to deposit something in me to make me better….”
“I feel like it’s made me a more
confident person, more sure of what I
want. It definitely helped me
realize that my goals are
attainable.”
“It built a network….now I have
more people I’m
comfortable with talking to because
of the program.”
Supervisor Benefits
“I am positive that SAIL helped my staff. She is more outspoken and shows more confidence in herself.”
“I felt this was a very
supportive and positive experience that helped
my staff in her transition to
management.”

opportunity for staff to
better explore their goals within themselves and their career.”
