We will likewise analyze quantitative data on program participation, retention rates, and mentorship outcomes to measure the program's impact. These data will be collected at regular intervals and reviewed by the mentoring program committee, which will also conduct quarterly reviews to assess progress and identify any necessary adjustments to the program's implementation.

Effective communication is essential for promoting awareness of the mentoring program and ensuring ongoing engagement from participants. To achieve this, we will utilize multiple communication channels, including email updates, newsletters, and staff meetings, to provide regular updates and information about the program. We will also leverage the organization's intranet and social media platforms to share success stories, testimonials, and upcoming events related to the mentoring program.
Additionally, we will establish a dedicated communication point person or team to address any questions or concerns from participants and to facilitate communication between mentors and mentees. By maintaining open and transparent communication channels, we aim to foster enthusiasm and participation in the mentoring program throughout its implementation.
