About the Event
The Colorado Mentoring Summit provides a dynamic forum for mentoring and youth-serving professionals, program leaders, stakeholders, and community members to co-create the future of mentoring for their programs, organizations, and for the statewide mentoring movement at large.
Each year, attendees hear from and connect with other leaders, while building personal and professional capacity. Attendees network with other stakeholders, have dedicated time to collaborate, and benefit from shared time to innovate their practices as we approach an ever-evolving mentoring landscape.
The Summit highlights best and innovative practices in the field, addresses emerging challenges, and explores how to authentically amplify youth voice.
Format
The 2024 Mentoring Summit, October 16-17, 2024, is a 1.5 day in-person event consisting of powerful plenary sessions and interactive workshops curated for the expressed needs of Colorado Mentoring professionals. After an impactful 2023 event, the 2024 Summit will continue to build on collaborations and ideas cultivated by the Colorado mentoring community.
Attendees can anticipate engaging workshops that offer actionable insights to enrich their programming. Based on past participant feedback, the Summit schedule will also feature multiple roundtable discussions designed for peer learning and sharing. These 45-minute sessions will be guided by leaders in the field. Participants will have the opportunity to choose from a range of topics, engage in collaborative dialogues, and work together to develop innovative solutions and initiatives.
