SUMMARY:CPCS Mentorship Program Training Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The CPCS Mentorship Program Team offers our sincere appreciation to everyone who has volunteered to be a mentor or is considering stepping into that role over the next year. \nIf you are considering being a mentor in late spring\, fall or beyond but have not yet volunteered\, we invite you to join one of the upcoming live remote mentor trainings. \nFebruary 26\, 2026\, from 1 to 3 p.m.\nUse this link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Gn2MBp7mTvq7ap9i_zfAaw \nMarch 12\, 2026\, from 12 to 2 p.m.\nUse this link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/68x1XpKDQXO3WWmWHUryYA \nMay 19\, 2026\, from 1 to 3 p.m.\nUse this link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4Jrr16xGRl66d3PDLHiY1w \nJune 11\, 2026\, from 1 to 3 p.m.\nUse this link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ijcp1WnET8SvbtNfF5-Wvw \nWe continue to seek volunteers while we continue expanded staff hiring. \nWho are we looking for? \nWe are seeking staff attorneys who want to support new attorneys by offering them the benefit of their experience and expertise in the form of advice\, support\, and resources outside of the confines of a supervisory relationship. If you’ve considered volunteering but still are not sure\, we would be happy to answer any questions you have:  Kristen Gondim kgondim@publiccounsel.net \nHow does it work? \nMentors and mentees will be paired based on their answers to the questionnaire here. Matches will be guided primarily by the mentees’ preferences and goals for the relationship. While many mentees are looking for mentors who share their practice area and geographic location\, others may prioritize different areas of growth—such as wellness\, work/life balance\, professional development\, or shared affinity and interests. \nWhat’s required to participate? \nMentor training consists of a brief two-hour training over Zoom and will be offered in February\, March\, and May or June. This training is mandatory for mentors who have not yet attended the mentor training offered this fall or last year\, but we encourage all mentors to attend. \nEmployees who have at least two years employment at CPCS are eligible to be mentors except for those on performance improvement plans or subject to active disciplinary action. Experienced staff attorneys with at least three years of experience\, in non-management roles are preferred for this peer-based model. \n
