Full Circle Mentorship Program

Mentorship is a key part of professional and personal growth, and at every stage of life, we find ourselves either mentoring or being mentored.

What is Full Circle?

Full Circle is a mentorship program developed by the OWA to encourage meaningful connections among members across all stages of their careers.

​

The program is designed to support professionals whether they are entering the field, navigating mid-career transitions, or reflecting on years of experience. It provides a flexible structure where members can network, share insights, and both give and receive guidance in an informal, supportive setting.

 

In addition to one-on-one connections, Full Circle includes a range of events such as:

​

  • Fireside Chats that explore mentoring themes

  • Virtual Meetups for informal networking

  • Mentor Talk sessions — facilitated discussions tailored to career stages (Establishment, Mid-Career, and Late Career)

 

More details about the program and scheduled events are available on the OWA Events page and via email updates.

​

Members who are interested in being paired with a mentor or mentee can complete the Mentorship Questionnaire to help guide the matching process.
