About Volunteer Mentor

The goal of the Member Mentors program is to provide an opportunity for volunteers to become integral constituents of TSDI, with the ability to not just donate funds, but also contribute intellectual capacity to the organization. They will mentor US-based peer-mentees and to our international partner-mentees. Types of mentoring include one-on-one, team and group e-mentoring. Contact is through WhatsApp, email, phone calls, Skype, social media and other online channels.

Responsibilities: Members, including board members of The Spring Development Initiative, pay membership fees and are entitled to attend the annual general meeting and vote/contest for executive officers (qualifying levels determined by board). Members are experienced professionals and are encouraged to mentor our volunteers (TSDI Peers and SI4DEV Partners) with a minimum of two hours each month. Below are membership levels and dues:
a. Waddi - $10,000/year

Members who qualify as mentors and currently mentoring peers and partners will receive tools and resources such as capacity building workshops, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, resources on best practices, strategy planning, etc.
