Naming Your Mentorship Program: Attract Participants & Reflect Value

Choosing the right name for your mentorship program is crucial. It’s the first impression, and a strong name attracts both mentors and mentees, clearly communicating the program’s focus and benefits. Don’t underestimate its power!

The Expert Perspective:

Many programs fail because the name is too generic ("Mentorship Initiative") or internally focused ("Employee Development Program"). A great name isn’t just descriptive; it’s aspirational. It hints at the transformation participants will experience. It should also differentiate you from traditional networks where mentorship is often a transactional booking – a single conversation. You’re building something more: a sustained growth relationship. Think about the outcome you’re promising, not just the activity.

Actionable Steps:

1. Define Your Niche: What specific skills or career stages does your program target? (e.g., "Early-Career Women in Tech," "Leadership Accelerator"). The name should reflect this.
2. Brainstorm Keywords: List words associated with growth, guidance, support, and your program’s niche. Use a thesaurus!
3. Keep it Concise & Memorable: Aim for 2-3 words. Easy to say, easy to remember, easy to share.
4. Check Availability: Ensure the name isn’t already in use (especially online) and that a relevant domain name is available.
5. Test it Out: Share potential names with your target audience and gather feedback.
