Be an Early Childhood Lead Mentor!

Leads are essential to the running of the Mentor Network. As a Lead Mentor, you will grow your teaching and leadership skills, while providing professional development and support to our mentors.

Serving as a lead for the Mentor Network is a part-time job that requires roughly 5-15 hours per week. We are always seeking bilingual leads!
