CARAS Mentoring Program Commitment
I understand that the CARAS Mentoring Program requires a commitment of eight (8) months to having a conversation at least once a month with my mentoring partner via a method we collaboratively choose and at a time that is mutually convenient for us both. I understand that failure to respond to communication from my mentoring partner for a period longer than two weeks may result in my removal from the CARAS Mentoring Program.
