Every program hits friction. Engagement dips. Mentor numbers fall short. Admin starts to pile up. These aren't signs your program is failing — they're normal, and they're fixable. This session gives you a practical toolkit for the challenges that come up again and again, so you're never stuck wondering what to do next.
We'll work through:
✅ Taming the admin burden (hint: it should take 30 minutes a week, max)
✅ Not enough mentors? What to do now — and how to build your numbers over time
✅ Matching challenges, disengaged participants, and how to re-activate a stalling program
✅ A recruitment strategy framework to grow your cohort year on year
