Purpose: Along with its companion resources, Advancing Equity: Mentorship in Peace and Security and Approaching Mentorship Report, this workbook is intended to facilitate effective engagement of both long-time and aspiring mentees and mentors in a practice that can change the make-up and impact of our field: mentorship.

Key content: Effective mentorship improves the diversity of organizations and the professional experiences of and opportunities available to people of color. Organizations in Solidarity (OiS) created its Mentorship Hub to welcome, connect, and support its members and allies in making mentorship more accessible and of a higher quality within and across peace, security, and foreign policy disciplines, especially for people of color.

Purpose: Together with the Advancing Equity: Mentorship in Peace and Security report, we intend this guide to serve as a foundation of knowledge, support, and inspiration from which aspiring and long-time professionals in peace, security, and foreign policy can build life- and field-changing relationships through mentorship.

Key Content: In this guide, we clarify shared definitions of concepts and terminology necessary for mentorship, discuss the key similarities and differences in overlapping relationships, and provide a solid launching point for mentors and mentees alike.

Purpose: This publication focuses on creating resources to understand and improve the landscape of mentorship.

Key content: In this report, we synthesize findings from original interviews and extensive research into what makes an effective DEI strategy, the impact of mentorship—particularly on people of color—and how to elevate equity-focused mentoring within the fields of peace, security, and foreign policy. We close with a recommendation to CRAVE mentoring opportunities by founding, joining, or supporting initiatives that: create opportunity for cross-identity contact; establish responsibility structures; cultivate social accountability for involvement; are voluntary; and engage participants in their evolution.
