The Fire Service MENTORSHIP Project
Fire Service MENTOR is looking for individuals who are interested in submitting information to and assisting with The Project, a collaborative effort to collect and disseminate key concepts of successful fire service mentoring programs
If you are interested in impacting the fire service, complete the questionnaire and submit it in the form below.
ABSTRACT:
The Project will develop a collection of knowledge, concepts and mentoring assessment tools through searching for and providing a submission and compilation method. The first efforts will be focused on the initial position within any organization - the recruit or probationary firefighter.
Eventually, efforts will expand into all other ranks: Firefighter, Driver, Company Officer and Chief Officer.
Information collected will be assembled into a master document that will be available free of charge via our website.

ABSTRACT:
- Mentoring occurs when a more knowledgeable and accomplished individual gains the ability to positively influence another.
- Mentoring is teaching in and through a relationship.
- Mentoring can be made a formal process when an individual is given a title or assigned the role.
- Most mentoring, however, is an informal process that occurs when one individual (a mentor) finds another (a protege) they wish to invest in.
- Mentoring within organizations is analogous to the life-giving blood in an organism; without a great mentoring program, the organization's "quality of life" will be severely compromised. While an organization may be able to "survive" without a formal mentoring program; to "thrive" there must be an effective mentoring program for all levels.
- Mentoring develops the fire service, two at a time.
