Mentor's benefits

It may appear as though mentees have more to gain from a mentorship arrangement than mentors. After all, they are the ones who get to take home all that invaluable knowledge. However, mentors also have a lot to gain from this collaboration.

Some benefits of being a mentor include:

• Getting a chance to hone your leadership skills among different types and groups of people
• Availing the opportunity to witness different streams of thought and expand your horizon of thinking
• Expanding your network and making valuable connections that can come in handy in the future
• Being able to inspire and assist passionate individuals in a way that gives back to the community
