Level 2 of the Pathways educational program from Toastmasters International has a mandatory project titled Introduction to Toastmasters Mentoring, which can be downloaded here. It discusses the roles of the mentor and protégé, that mentoring can be virtual, and the differences between mentoring and coaching. But it is rather superficial, implying (as shown above) that the process just involves a more experienced mentor and an inexperienced protégé (aka mentee).
The mentor gets a Mentor Assignment Notice (Item 1163C, 11/2018) which you can find here.
Toastmaster magazine has lots of useful articles about mentoring, which add additional useful information not in that introductory Pathways project. For example, since over two decades ago there also has been a variation known as reverse mentoring. Back in May 2014 John Cadley had quipped that:
“If you’ve ever had to ask a 6-year-old how to work your smartphone, you’ve been reverse mentored.”
Here is a list of authors and titles for 21 magazine articles from the last decade (and one from Leadership Central). For those posted at the magazine web site I have included a link. Others can be viewed by downloading the .pdf file for an issue and looking at the listed page numbers.
