“Research has consistently shown that mentorship is the single most powerful influence on one’s professional development.”
-Deepika Choudhary, Empowering New Voices
Mentorship is one of the most effective ways peace, security, and foreign policy organizations and individuals can improve diversity, equity, and inclusion within and across these fields.
Successful mentorship benefits professionals of color through expedited career advancement; a greater sense of comfort and belonging; more expansive community and networks; increased exposure and encouragement to pursue opportunities; elevated access to jobs and leadership; and unbiased support and guidance.
Having employees engaged in mentorship offers organizations better performance; higher employee engagement; reduced turnover; a sustainable, self-supporting model for impact; and a research-backed pathway to racial diversification of its staff and decision-makers.
Increasing the accessibility and quality of mentorship in our space can amplify the impact of peace, security, and foreign policy efforts and enable our community to better detect, address, and prevent cultures of exclusion, practitioner burnout, and organizational ineffectiveness. Join us!
