Thinking about mentoring?
Being a Mentor
If you've lived and learned, there are probably people here who could benefit from your wisdom. Don't keep it all locked up inside your head - share it with others who might benefit from hearing how you've handled something, managed something or achieved something.
It's a great way to volunteer and give something back, and it's a really meaningful way to enjoy communicating online. It requires only that you take it seriously and are ready to participate in the community
Signup as a member first, then complete and submit your mentor profile (we approve them all before posting) to become registered as a mentor. Others will then be able to view your mentor profile and contact you as a mentor.
As a mentor you can also:
- Create, update and manage your profile
- Publish your pearls of wisdom
- Manage and count your mentoring time
- Reply to calls for help
- Publish useful book references and web links
- Receive mentoring from others

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
