IMPACT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Net Impact Amsterdam Mentorship Programme

We connect senior and mid-career impact leaders with young professionals who are actively charting their sustainability career path and seeking trusted feedback to continuously develop. 

What participants say

“Net Impact Amsterdam’s Mentorship Programme has been a great opportunity for my career development in sustainability. I feel very grateful to have been matched with a person who is an expert in communication which was a skill I was aiming to develop further. My mentor gave me different tasks to help me understand what career path I wanted to create for myself and how to communicate the value I bring to the table. I will keep the learnings from this experience in mind as I navigate my career in the impact investing field.”

Lina Maria Zapata Garcia, Portfolio Analyst, FMO | Dutch Development Bank (Mentee)

“The mentoring programme has been very well organised making the whole process of finding and working with a mentee quite easy. The networking with other mentors and mentees provided additional opportunities for learning. Highly recommended!”

Rick Walters, Chief of Standards and Innovation, GRESB (Mentor)

“I have really enjoyed the mentorship programme, from a professional as well as personal perspective. Everyone I interacted with was willing to engage in insightful conversations and was open to helping each other in whatever way they could. My mentor was also always available for advice and genuinely interested in helping my career development. I would love to stay in touch with the people I met from the programme!”

Raghav Nath, Business Solutions Analyst, GEODIS (Mentee)

How it works

The mentorship programme follows three steps:

1. Members submit an application

Complete the Member Application Form no later than 5 December 2020. This helps us understand your career stage, impact and professional ambitions, and goals for further development.

2. We match you with a mentor

Finding the right match and “click” is key. We aim to connect participants with a mentor that has meaningful experience in an area that will add value for your career development and network.

3. You agree on the scope

By joining the programme, each mentor and mentee agree to a minimum scope set by Net Impact Amsterdam. It’s up to you and your mentor to define if this scope is enough, or if you will need more and less meeting opportunities.
