This monograph outlines 12 best practices in workplace mentoring. It reflects findings from the New Voices National Fellowship Program, a human rights leadership development initiative funded by the Ford Foundation and administered by AED (Academy for Educational Development). It is hoped that readers will find the ideas developed here and the tools provided to be provocative and useful. A bibliography is included. Appended are: (1) Mentorship Brainstorming Tool; (2) Learning and Mentoring Plan; and (3) Model Mentoring Agreement. (Contains 17 endnotes.)
