Mentoring Program
ICIC Mentoring Program
ICIC mentors will provide support and guidance to new coaches while establishing a relationship that the new coaches can depend on. Mentors will be an instructional coach for those who have just begun coaching. Mentors will be expected to initially meet the mentee face to face (in person or Google hangout), contact the mentee three times per year, provide and review the coaching kit, and provide advice when necessary. The opportunity to be a mentee is available to coaches who have been in the role for two years or less.
