I know many nonprofits have shifted into survival mode in the last several years as funding envelopes close and restrictions are greater, while need only grows.
I have been in this sector about 6 years and had a wonderful mentor for about 2.5 years, but it feels lately like things have completely changed and theres less of relationship focus than before. It seems like you’re just expected to know everything and training is more of a veil that an actual process. I have younger friends entering the field and taking on full program responsibilities with no guidance or real leadership.
Curious what other folks experiences are with mentorship? Have you found mentors outside of your job, did you pay someone, or did you figure it out on your own?
