Mentorship Program
The La Voz mentorship program is a year-long program meant to connect current staff with someone in the district to provide networking, support, and resources in Fresno Unified. Mentoring is the process of sharing information and knowledge. The mentoring relationship is a sharing relationship, with the mentor and mentee each receiving something meaningful from the connection.
